Overview
The Consular Corps of Arizona is proud to sponsor the Governor’s Scholarship. As an organization dedicated to civic engagement and fostering educational opportunity, the AZCC created this award to honor an outstanding new graduate from one of the three state universities. Beginning in the spring of 2013, this annual scholarship will be awarded to a student who has exhibited exceptional academic merit, to assist them in pursuing a graduate degree at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or the University of Arizona.
This scholarship is not affiliated with the Office of the Arizona Governor, nor is it aligned with any of the three universities. The steering and selection committee come from the fields of education, business, and government.
Scholarship Amount
The Governor’s Scholarship is a nonrenewable financial award in the amount of twelve thousand dollars ($12,000). It must be used to pursue immediate graduate study at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, or the University of Arizona. The scholarship cannot be deferred or transferred. Upon confirmation of enrollment, the funds will be distributed directly to the appropriate institution of postsecondary education.
