On behalf of the University of Arizona Alumni Association, I want to thank you for your interest in The
University of Arizona. The Alumni Association is made up of graduates who are very proud of their
affiliation with their alma mater and want to maintain a life-long relationship with this institution.
One mission is to raise scholarship funds for incoming students to The University of Arizona. This year
we will be offering several unrestricted merit scholarships to entering freshman and transfer students for
the fall 2015 semester. The amount and number of scholarships will be determined by the number of
applicants that are applying. Scholarships may range from $250 - $2000 per individual. Contingent on
your acceptance and decision to attend The University of Arizona, you are eligible to apply for this award.
Please return this application, and include the following information:
1. A resume which highlights your scholastic achievements, extracurricular activities, honors,
work experience, community service, and any other information you deem as important.
2. A one page printed essay about your decision to apply and/or attend The University of
Arizona. The essay should be about you, your intended field of study, your interests, concerns,
expectations and goals. You need not restrict yourself to educational interests and are
encouraged to be personal and write about things that are important to you. The essay must be
one page only, single- or double- spaced, in 12-point type with one-inch margins. Essays
more than one page or in any other type size will not be accepted.
3. Official transcripts
Your completed application must arrive by Wednesday, April 15th, 2015. No late or incomplete
