Five Arizona residents awarded full-tuition scholarships to University of Phoenix
PHOENIX, April 3, 2019 — University of Phoenix and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation today announced the recipients of the 2019 Teaming Up For Education® Scholarship Program. Five Arizona residents will receive full-tuition scholarship toward an undergraduate or master’s degree of their choice to be pursued at University of Phoenix online or at a campus location.
The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation will present the scholarships to this year’s recipients during the pregame events of the D-backs home game versus the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, April 10 at Chase Field. Scholarship recipients were selected by a committee consisting of University of Phoenix and Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation representatives, based on the quality of applications and scholarship essays.
The 2019 Teaming Up For Education Scholarship recipients are:
This is the eighth year of the Teaming Up For Education Scholarship Program, which has made higher education a reality for 32 Arizona residents. In 2015, the University expanded the number of scholarship recipients from three to five. To date, 15 recipients have received degrees from University of Phoenix while the others continue to pursue their education goals.
“The Teaming Up For Education Scholarship recipients embody the grit, determination and bravery University of Phoenix students develop throughout their lives that motivate them to positively impact their communities through higher education. The University is proud to provide them an opportunity to pursue their educational goals that help make their dreams a reality,” said Dr. John Woods, Chief Academic Officer and Provost at University of Phoenix. “We look forward to the impact this year’s scholarship recipients will make as University of Phoenix graduates.”
As the Proud Education Partner of the Arizona Diamondbacks for nearly a decade, University of Phoenix has supported the team’s efforts to use education as a tool to strengthen the Arizona community. The organizations partnered in 2012 to launch the D-backs School Challenge, which has awarded $950,000 to more than 200 schools from across the state since its inception. Other initiatives include: The D-backs Honor Roll, which gifts 30,000 game tickets each season to Valley students who displayed perfect attendance, good grades or leadership; the 500 Club Reading Program to promote literacy by rewarding students who have reached 500 minutes of reading with free tickets to a home D-backs game; and the Winter Classic, an annual holiday celebration to donate school supplies to low-income students and provide a time to meet D-backs players and coaches.
