Scholarships

With a gift of at least $1,000, you can establish a named scholarship that supports deserving students. You determine:

• the type and basic terms of the scholarship.
• the name of the scholarship.
• the amount of the award.
• the criteria for selecting the recipient.
• how often the scholarship is awarded.

The Foundation recommends establishing a scholarship that covers resident tuition and fees for one year.  For 2008-2009 that comes out to $1,284.

You can establish a scholarship fund

• as an endowment in which the principal remains intact and investment returns are used for the award.  A minimum gift of $10,000 is required to establish an endowment.
• as a annual award which is issued on a continuing basis or for a designated time period.

Students can apply for Pima Community College Foundation scholarships by completing the online Scholarship Application.
