Community Foundation for Southern Arizona Scholarship Program

The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA), based in Tucson, runs a single online scholarship application each winter that automatically screens each student against roughly 20 individually named funds - from a general Southern Arizona scholarship to funds restricted to specific high schools (Bisbee High, Nogales Unified School District, Amphitheater High, University High) or fields of study (nursing, culinary arts, vocational training). There is no application fee, and funds can only be used at accredited nonprofit educational institutions.

Eligibility

DemographicsMust have graduated, or be graduating this year, from a high school in Southern Arizona, or have earned a GED while residing in Southern Arizona (CFSA serves a seven-county region of Southern Arizona, headquartered in Tucson).

Applying

CFSA administers roughly 20 separate scholarship funds through one shared application; each fund sets its own award amount, which isn't published until the portal opens.
