Phoenix, Arizona · Maricopa County
Phoenix is home to Arizona's largest university, the biggest community college district in the country, and dozens of corporate and foundation scholarship programs that specifically fund Maricopa County students. Here's where to start.
Phoenix students have access to a layered scholarship ecosystem: ASU's Barrett College and Thunderbird School are right here, with institutional merit aid for in-state students. The Arizona Community Foundation, Valley of the Sun United Way, and Phoenix-area corporate foundations (Intel, Honeywell, Banner Health) all run scholarship programs. Phoenix also has strong STEM and healthcare pipelines with industry funding. Beyond local awards, every statewide Arizona scholarship is available to Phoenix students — including Flinn, Dorrance, and Obama Scholars at ASU.
