Sedona AZ (November 9, 2015) – The Arizona Community Foundation of Yavapai County is encouraging scholarship providing community groups to join local students at the inaugural Cash for College Scholarship Awareness Night. The scholarship night brings both scholarship providers and local students together in the same place in order for students to learn about the variety of opportunities for financial support to achieve their educational goals after high school.

The event will be held at the Yavapai College Gymnasium, where all local scholarship providers are invited to have an information table, share their scholarship opportunities, and meet students face-to-face. The Cash for College Scholarship Awareness Night will take place Monday, December 7, 2015, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

“If students don’t know about the scholarship opportunities available to them, how can they apply?” said Carol Chamberlain, Regional Director of the Arizona Community Foundation of Yavapai County. “We decided to host the Cash for College scholarship night to make sure every student knows their options and our local scholarship providers have a great pool of applicants.”

The Cash for College Scholarship Awareness Night is scheduled specifically to accommodate the busy schedules of students and their families, and provide students time to consider their options over the holiday break.

Scholarship providers, please RSVP your attendance.

More than 90 scholarships opportunities are available through the Arizona Community Foundation, the largest private provider of scholarships in the state. Some scholarships support students in Yavapai County specifically, while others are open to students residing anywhere in the state so long as they meet the scholarship’s eligibility requirements.

Students applying for scholarships with ACF benefit from a unique online system that maximizes their opportunities to receive financial assistance. With one application through the Arizona Community Foundation’s online scholarship system, students are automatically matched any other scholarship opportunities for which they qualify.

Scholarship providers interested in having a table at the Cash for College Scholarship Awareness Night should contact Carol Chamberlain at 928.583.7816 or cchamberlain@azfoundation.org. Students are invited to join the night of the event without registration.
