AIM President and CEO Dala Alphonso and MacKenzie Broderick, AIM Director of Outreach, help students at the AIM Educational Opportunity Center in Scottsbluff, Neb. work on the college application process.
The AIM Institute would like to thank the Oregon Trail Community Foundation, which awarded AIM with a $4,000 grant. The funding will be utilized to purchase iPads and laptops for student use at the AIM Educational Opportunity Center in Scottsbluff, Neb., as well as a charging cart and cabinet to secure this necessary equipment.
The AIM Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) is the only resource in western Nebraska dedicated solely to assisting youth and families with the entire college application, financial aid and admissions process.
AIM’s EOC serves more than 1,000 individuals annually through one-on-one appointments, in-school presentations and small-group assistance. The program helps first-generation, under-resourced students apply to college and helps them understand the possibilities of a tech career offering high-wage, high-demand, high-skill (H3) technology careers.
