Scholarships for college students in AZ?

For those of us going to college in Arizona, are there specific scholarships we should know about? I'm trying to find opportunities based in the state or aimed at Arizona residents.

There are several scholarships available specifically for students in or from Arizona.

1. Arizona Community Foundation: They administer a diverse portfolio of scholarships. An online application process will match you with the scholarships for which you might be eligible.

2. Arizona Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (AzLEAP): This is for Arizona residents who have a substantial financial need. To be eligible, students are required to be enrolled or accepted at an accredited institution and be enrolled at least half-time.

3. The Dorrance Scholarship Program: This program is for first-generation college students and it includes an annual study abroad experience.

4. Flinn Scholarship: This merit-based scholarship is for Arizona high school seniors planning on attending a state university. It includes tuition, room, and board, and at least two travel abroad experiences.

5. Arizona Board of Regents High Honors Tuition Scholarship (AIMS): This provides tuition award to Arizona public university students graduating from an Arizona public or private high school in the top 5% of their class or score exceptionally well on their SAT or ACT.

Remember, these are just a few examples. Each scholarship has its qualifications and deadlines, which you should thoroughly research before applying. It's worth noting that many colleges and universities in Arizona also offer scholarships and grants, so be sure to explore those opportunities as well. Lastly, consult your school's financial aid office, as they may know of additional opportunities!
