NAMED SCHOLARSHIPS
The Giving Back Pays Forward scholars are supported by community, business and PXU staff, family and friends to recognize loved ones, support students, and give back to their community. The concept of “giving back pays forward” is supported by these donors and is the message that they want to pass on to the Phoenix Union Foundation student scholars.
Give the priceless gift of education by establishing a scholarship. Scholarships can be established in honor or memory of a family member, friend, student, teacher, mentor, community member, or any organization.
