For students whose federal Pell grants or other financial help don’t cover the cost of college tuition and fees, the Arizona Promise Program offers financial support. The program offers a $12,700 scholarship to an Arizona undergraduate student who meets the requirements.

After other financial aid, the award amount cannot exceed the actual cost of in-state tuition, obligatory fees, and program fees. In the spring of each year, the universities will award the funds to eligible students who are already enrolled.

An educated workforce is essential to Arizona’s future development. Arizona’s economy is at a turning point, with a relatively low rate of college completion and a rising need for workers with bachelor’s degrees.
