Equitable Access to Higher Education.
Scholarships
CPLC Scholarships empower future community leaders and innovators committed to improving Arizona communities.
Our program provides financial assistance and ongoing supportive services to outstanding students attending Arizona colleges and universities. CPLC Scholars have a demonstrated commitment to making positive changes to their communities and their selected fields of study. The program is especially dedicated to serving those students with limited access to financial resources.
As a scholarship recipient, CPLC Scholars become members of a community of motivated learners with similar backgrounds, providing a social foundation as they embark on this exciting phase of life. They also complete community service hours as part of the requirements for maintaining their scholarship, providing an opportunity to experience how their actions can have a positive impact on others and the world around them.
