Asian American Faculty Staff and Alumni Association Scholarships

Awarding scholarships with the charitable support of donors, friends, and the Arizona community is one of the most important things they do. Scholarships provide access to college for students who otherwise could not afford it, bring the best and brightest minds to the UA, and energize the economy through employment, internships, and research.

UA Alumni Association scholarships are awarded in two categories: Merit-based — to attract and retain students of exceptional academic quality, and need-based — for students who demonstrate great financial need.
