Important Scholarship Information

2006-11-29T18:09:00.000-08:00

The program was announced the same week the Arizona Board of Regents plans to vote on a tuition increase. ASU is currently proposing a 9.1 tuition increase at the Tempe and Downtown Phoenix campuses and a 10.4 percent increase at the West and Polytechnic campuses.The university launched the ASU Advantage program two years ago, which provided a debt-free education for students from families in which the family income was less than $18,850, the federal poverty level.More than 600 students benefited from the program. By increasing the income level by more than $6,000, university expect the number of students who will benefit from the Sun Devil Promise to more than double the number of the older program. "This important step will allow us to serve a far greater number of students and provide the vital support necessary to ensure a brighter collective future for Arizona," ASU President Michael M. Crow said. "We have made a commitment to Arizonans who have a dream and the desire to realize their full capacity and potential through education.
