ABOUT:
The goal of the Beaty Martinez Foundation scholarship program is to support and guide the next generation of leaders for a better Arizona.
Annually, we award underprivileged students with scholarships of up to $10,000 to pursue higher education in the state of Arizona. Funds will be split equally between the Fall and Spring semesters. Amount awarded will be dependent on school selected, funding available and the number of qualified applicants.
Scholarship funds will be paid during the month of August—directly to the college, not the student. The scholarship funds will be issued to the college or university upon receiving a confirmation of enrollment for the Fall semester, which includes the Student ID number and Financial Aid Office address. Spring disbursement will be automatic as long as the student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours.
The Foundation's Board of Directors will review each application no later than six weeks after the application deadline. Finalists may be invited to meet with the Board prior to final selection.
