About the LIFT Program – AIC Gives ’26
The LIFT Program (Linking Individuals to Fundamental Tools) is designed to support AIC students facing basic needs challenges that can stand in the way of their success. Many students navigate food insecurity, housing instability, and financial hardship—barriers that are often unseen but deeply impactful.
LIFT exists to ensure students have access to essential resources so they can focus on their education and remain on the path to graduation. By addressing immediate needs and providing practical support, the program helps remove obstacles that can derail even the most determined students.
Grounded in the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, LIFT focuses on delivering meaningful, timely assistance that makes a lasting difference in students’ academic journeys.
