Scottsdale launches scholarship program for residents
(Courtesy Metro Creative Connection)
The City of Scottsdale has launched a new scholarship fund for Scottsdale residents or Scottsdale high school graduates to help pay for higher education at the community college level.
Posted
The City of Scottsdale is offering a new scholarship program called Scottsdale College Promise – an educational initiative that supports Scottsdale residents in achieving their higher education goals.
Scottsdale College Promise is a collaborative effort between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Community College, Scottsdale Unified School District and the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation. This last-dollar, needs-based program provides financial assistance to eligible Scottsdale residents and graduates of Scottsdale high schools, helping them pursue higher education at schools within the Maricopa Community Colleges District.
The program is specifically tailored to benefit current residents of Scottsdale or graduates from a Scottsdale-based high school who qualify for in-county tuition, registration, and fees. While students are able to attend any school within the Maricopa Community Colleges, Scottsdale Community College serves as the anchor institution for the program.
As a last-dollar and stipend program, Scottsdale Promise provides financial support after all other grants and scholarships have been awarded.
Approved by the Scottsdale City Council through the Fiscal Year 2023/24 budget process, the program has been allocated $500,000 in seed funding, with an initial commitment of up to $100,000 for the first year.
