Who We Are
ScholarshipsA-Z was born as a response to the continuing failure of public educational systems in AZ to support Undocumented and immigrant youth. Policies such as Prop 300 and HB 2008 keep Undocumented students out of higher education in Arizona.
However, there are policies that are moving in the right direction such as Prop 308 which was implemented as of Spring 2023. Prop 308 grants in-state tuition for students who have attended an Arizona high school for 2 years and graduated from an Arizona high school and/or completed a GED in Arizona. Prop 308 also allows students regardless of immigration status to receive state aid and scholarships. For more visit: scholarshipsaz.org/prop-308/
