Investing in Futures: Annual Cash Awards
At APS Phoenix, we are committed to ensuring that every student—regardless of background—has the opportunity to pursue higher education with dignity and support.
Each year, thanks to generous donations from our community, APS Phoenix provides cash awards to graduating students who are continuing their education. These funds are not scholarships in the traditional sense—they are immediate, flexible resources that help offset the cost of living for students from low-income families or with disabilities.
For many, this support makes the difference between staying enrolled or dropping out. It’s a direct investment in resilience, access, and opportunity.
You can help.
Your donation today will go directly to a student who needs help with books, rent, transportation, or basic essentials as they transition to college or vocational training.

Together, we can ensure that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of our graduates’ dreams. Thank you for being part of their journey.
