Payment plans are available. A 7% finance fee is added regardless of how and when installment payments are made if you do not pay your projected cash balance by Week One of the quarter. For example, if a student is receiving Financial Aid, but the total award will not cover the entire tuition cost, the finance fee will be 7% of the cash balance regardless of the details of the student's particular payment plan. After prospective students have processed any Financial Aid applications, they may contact the Bursar's office at 770-242-7717, ext 28 to inquire about cash balances and set up payment plans.

If you need assistance, I can help



Hi, I'm Diane! My job is to help you gain a complete understanding of what financial obligations you may encounter once accepted into AIM. These may include cash balances, financing, and any associated charges or fees. I'll work with you to help determine the best way for you to pay any cash balances you may have after your financial aid money has been applied to your tuition costs. I can also help customize your finance plan if desired. For example, your payment due dates may be adjusted to better fit your income, etc. So, once you're accepted, come see me!

The Atlanta Institute of Music is the only school in Atlanta that offers the perfect blend of music and technology! AIM recording students can pick from the cream of the crop of AIM's music students to help create their musical masterpieces, and AIM's guitar, bass, and drum students can record and distribute their songs with the help of the students in AIM's recording department! This unique interaction of music students and recording students is what sets us apart from our competition, and what helps give us our astonishing 85% overall job placement rate! (Go ahead...we dare you to ask our competitors to tell you theirs!)


If you're going to go to any music school, AIM is the one to choose. Since graduation, I've gotten all my work through AIM...So, this is the place to be.
