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.

1. A resume which highlights your scholastic achievements, extracurricular activities, honors,
work experience, community service, and any other information you deem as important.

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.
