Arizona College Grants

As an Arizona native, you may be interested in higher education. However, as you look at the cost of enrolling in college, you will probably get a sick feeling in your stomach, knowing you can never afford to pay that price. However, there are many state funded, as well as privately sourced, grants that can assist you in funding your higher education.

If you've completed two years at an Arizona Community College and plan on enrolling in a private bachelor's degree program, the Arizona Private Postsecondary Education Student Financial Assistance Program Grant can apply to you, with awards of $750 to $1500 available for students with financial needs who qualify. The Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership, or LEAP, can assist those in need who are already attending a state two- or four-year, vocational, or technical institute in state to the tune of $100 to $2500.

Dependents of American Society of Travel Agent members in Arizona are eligible for the Arizona Chapter Dependent/Employee Membership Scholarship, which awards $1500 to residents out of high school planning on attending an Arizona school and maintains a GPA of at least 2.5.

The Arizona Community College Scholarship is available to state high school students with strong academic achievement and a record of community service or volunteering. Scholarships are given in amounts of $500 for attendance at a state community college. Individuals who are already pursuing a degree in health, education, or social sciences may be able to receive one of three $1000 awards given annually through the Anne Lindeman Memorial Scholarship.

List of Arizona College Grants

Paying for school is not easy, but we are here to help. OEDb's student finance section will help you find the money you need to pay your tuition and other college expenses. We cover scholarships, college grants, and student loans. Scholarships and grants are both forms of "free money", meaning they don't need to be paid back. Scholarships are typically awarded by businesses or individuals, with the money being earmarked specifically for tuition. They can be awarded based on a student's location or by religious affiliation, such as Catholicism or Islam. Grants are typically awarded by governments or non-profit organizations and the money often can be applied to several different expenses a student may incur, not solely tuition. They can be awarded based on location or ethnicity, for instance African American or Hispanic. Loans are not considered "free money", because unlike scholarships and grants, they do need to be paid back after graduation. Common federal loans include Perkins and Stafford. Loans are also available by location.
