Arizona College Scholarships
Arizona is full of colleges and universities that provide excellent educational programs for students looking to receive a higher education. However, like many institutes of higher learning, the cost of attendance at these locations can be ridiculously high to a degree that most students can't afford their own education. In order to help offset the cost of attendance at one of these facilities in state, Arizona scholarships recognize both need and merit and help to provide funding for a degree.
For example, enrollment in a two-year degree program can qualify you for the Arizona Community College Scholarship in amounts of $500. Eligible students have a strong academic background, a record of community service, and an interest in volunteer activities. Individuals enrolled in a four-year Arizona college or university may be eligible for the Anne Lindeman Memorial Scholarship. Three awards or $1000 each are bestowed annually upon students pursuing a degree in health sciences, social sciences, or education.
Private businesses may also offer a source of funding for Arizona scholarships. For instance, a dependent of a member of the American Society of Travel Agents residing in Arizona may receive $1500 from the Arizona Chapter Dependent/Employee Membership Scholarship. Eligible dependents have a GPA of at least 2.5, have graduated high school, and are seeking attendance at an Arizona institute of higher learning. Also, individuals residing in Arizona working toward a degree in tourism or travel at a four-year college or university in state and are at least in their second year of study are eligible for the Arizona Chapter Gold Scholarship, worth $3000.

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.
