Name of Activity: ASU Scholarships
Description of Activity: Many scholarships fall under departmental and private donor oversight, meaning you simply apply and submit the necessary documents by a deadline, and you're then grouped with all the other applicants and you may or may not qualify for the money. All Pima County students admitted should fill out the General Scholarship Application as well. Also, look into the Maroon & Gold. That's probably the easiest to earn for students qualifying for need-based financial aid. The FAFSA drives that scholarship and there is a simple application for the M&G.
