Arizona Western College is the most recent winner of a $2,000 scholarship.
The money came from strategic higher education consulting firm CampusWorks. It was all part of the celebration of the company's 20th anniversary, where through a scholarship giveaway aimed at supporting student success, the firm pledged to donate $2,000 scholarships to 20 different colleges and universities across the United States and Canada, providing a total of $40,000 in financial support for students in need.
Founded in 1999, CampusWorks’ vision is to improve society by making higher education accessible to everyone, and offering these scholarships is a big step toward making that vision a reality.
“After two decades working directly with institutions, we see firsthand the challenges many students face,” said CampusWorks CEO Liz Murphy. “We want to do our part to ensure that financial need does not prevent anyone from pursuing a quality education.”
As the cost of higher education continues to rise in many areas, more students are relying upon scholarship support to achieve their educational goals.
“AWC is fortunate to have dedicated trustees, including those who attended the ACCT conference in San Francisco," said Arizona Western College President, Dr. Daniel Corr. "During the event we were lucky enough to win a drawing for a $2,000 scholarship from CampusWorks that will be used to benefit our students.”
