About the "Arizona Is My
Home" Scholarship

My name is Carl
Chapman . I am offering one $2500 scholarships this year
for use at any of Arizona’s public colleges and
universities. Applying is simple and will help the
applicant reflect on how important their Arizona home
town is to them. Consequently, the name of the
scholarship is “Arizona Is My Home.”
I grew up in Parker Arizona, a small town along the
Colorado River. Still, some 30 years later, I continue
to consider Parker home. I believe that I owe a large
part of my success to the lessons I learned while
growing up in my home town.
My ability to go to college was the result of a small,
but generous scholarship from the local Elk’s Lodge.
Their generosity allowed me to meet my tuition costs for
my first year at Arizona Western College. Now I would
like, in that same spirit and fashion, to help a
students realize their college ambitions.
The “Arizona Is My Home” Scholarship is based on two
core beliefs. First, that public education is the key to
Arizona’s future success. Second, that there is a vital
need for the promotion and preservation of helpaboutcollege
traditions, history and rural lifestyle.
The “Arizona Is My Home” scholarship writing prompt
provides students an opportunity to reflect on what is
special and unique about their Arizona hometown. It also
encourages those not currently living in Arizona, or who
have come to Arizona from elsewhere, an opportunity to
reflect on the positive aspects of our great state.
I strongly believe in the accessibility of higher
education to all and this is why this scholarship is
open to anyone, regardless of where they are in their
educational journey and is designed to help students
already enrolled and actively engaged in their academic
program. Scholarship monies become available to
successful applicants who are full-time matriculated
students who have completed 12 credit hours at the
Arizona state college or university from which they seek
to graduate. Applicants may apply for, and be awarded, a
scholarship prior to completion of these conditions and
high school students are encouraged to apply for this
scholarship. |
