Arizona's Dorrance Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Dorrance Family
Here’s a clearer, teacher-to-student version of the information about the Dorrance Scholarship — what it is, what it pays for, and what you need to do.
What the scholarship is for
- The Dorrance Scholarship is a need-based award meant to start and sustain college-going traditions in Arizona families. It’s designed to remove financial barriers, provide academic support, and help students stay in college through targeted enrichment experiences.
What the scholarship provides
- Financial support: $12,000 per academic year for up to four years. (The total program — including advising, tutoring, enrichment trips, and other supports — is valued at over $100,000.)
- Academic preparation and support: an Orientation and a Summer Bridge to get you ready for college coursework, regular meetings with a dedicated advisor, and access to tutoring when needed.
- Enrichment and community: opportunities like international travel, an innovation experience, and cultural events to broaden your perspective and build connections on campus.
Eligibility and renewal
- The award is renewable for up to four academic years (eight semesters).
- Renewal depends on keeping appropriate academic standing and participating in required program activities.
How to apply (important deadline)
- Phase I application deadline: Wednesday, February 5, 2025 at 4:59 p.m. Arizona Standard Time.
- Submit your Phase I application and all required supporting documents by that deadline.
Ask your counselor
- High school counselors are a primary source of information about this scholarship. Their encouragement often makes the difference — talk with yours early so they can help you decide whether to apply and support your application.
If you want, I can help you draft a checklist of the documents you’ll need to submit or a timeline to make sure you meet the February 5 deadline.
