Your support of College Success Arizona helps us to continue to provide services to Arizona’s highly motivated, low income, students so that they can attend, and graduate from Arizona colleges and universities.
Invest in Arizona’s future. By giving to College Success Arizona, you can help ensure that all Arizonans have the opportunity to succeed in college and graduate with a certificate or degree that will serve them well in the workforce. By 2020 68% of all jobs in Arizona will require at least some form of education beyond high school, but only 45% of adults in Arizona hold a high-value certificate, associates degree or higher. Adding just 500 college graduates to the Arizona workforce would increase state tax revenue by more than $1 million every year.
Your support enables us to provide need-based funding and advisory services to students; it also helps to advance our work to provide professional training for college access professionals and to inform policymakers and the public about solutions to college access and attainment challenges in Arizona. Combined, these efforts are helping to increase attainment statewide and boost Arizona’s economy.
