“Education can open doors that change the direction of a student’s life, and we want young people throughout Tempe to know that their community believes in their potential,” said Mark Burnside, Chairman of the Tempe Diablos Scholarship Committee. “Whether a student plans to attend a university, community college or trade school, these scholarships are designed to help make that next step more attainable and allow students to focus on building a successful future.”
Since launching the scholarship program more than 33 years ago, the Tempe Diablos have awarded more than 1,200 scholarships totaling more than $5 million. The organization currently funds more than $270,000 annually in scholarships for students from the Tempe Union High School District.
“Receiving the Diablos scholarship meant so much to me, and it made a real difference in my college journey. As I worked toward graduating from ASU and pursuing my future in aviation, having that extra support took some of the financial stress off my shoulders and reminded me that I had people cheering me on along the way,” said ASU graduate Kirsten Marquis.
Trade school scholarships are available to high school students and adults seeking to learn a trade at an accredited institution. Individual awards are available for up to $2,000 per year, and recipients may reapply if additional assistance is needed.
