Para estudiantes hispanos y latinos de Arizona
Arizona has more resources for Hispanic and Latino college-goers than most students know. This guide surfaces the ones worth your time — from national scholarship programs to AZ-specific aid.
Hispanic and Latino students make up nearly 46% of Arizona's K–12 enrollment — and the scholarship ecosystem reflects that. Organizations like the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, HACE, and Arizona's own community foundations run dedicated award programs. Arizona also passed Proposition 308 in 2022, meaning undocumented students who graduated from an AZ high school now qualify for in-state tuition rates at AZ public universities.

Things worth knowing
The HSF scholarship opens in the fall — start your application in September
The Hispanic Scholarship Fund is one of the largest merit-based scholarship programs in the U.S. and actively recruits AZ students. Awards range from $500 to $5,000 and are renewable. Create your profile on HSF.net before deadlines hit.
Prop 308 only covers state universities — not all colleges
In-state tuition under Prop 308 applies at ASU, UA, and NAU — and some community colleges. Private colleges set their own policies. Use the Aid Finder tool to see your full picture before ruling any school in or out.
Community foundations are an underused source
The Arizona Community Foundation, Chicanos Por La Causa, and the Phoenix Hispanic Scholarship Fund all run local awards that receive fewer applications than national ones — better odds.
