| The mission of the Valley Foundation’s scholarship program is to provide financial assistance in the form of college scholarships to current or returning students who have not earned the highest grade point averages and who are experiencing financial difficulties. A good citizenship record is important with participation in school activities, community services and/or employment constituting a prerequisite for consideration. Preference is given to graduates of high schools in Southern Arizona as well as students currently attending Pima Community College and the University of Arizona. United States citizenship is required and awardees/recipients must attend and complete full-time enrollment (12 hours per semester). High School students whose grade point average places them in the top 5% of their class and applicants receiving substantial financial aid from other sources such as grants, waivers, or scholarships will not be eligible. |

| During fifteen years of operation, nearly $830,000 in grants have been awarded enabling more than 220 students to attend various colleges, including Pima Community College, Eastern Arizona College, the University of Arizona, the University of Phoenix, Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, Texas Christian University, the University of Hawaii, Loyola Marymount University, Linfield College, Hillsdale College, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, San Francisco College and Dartmouth College. The average scholarship granted is $3,000-$4,000 for a university and $1,500-$2,000 for a community college but scholarships for both more and less have been awarded based on circumstances and availability of funds. The following timetable has been provided to assist you and your prospective scholarship candidates: |
