ABOUT

100 Club's Scholarship Program

The 100 Club of Arizona’s Scholarship Program was established in 2006 to provide undergraduate financial education assistance for immediate family members (spouses, children, and in some cases, grandchildren) of active, retired or deceased public safety officers and firefighters throughout the state of Arizona. Since its inception in 2006, the 100 Club has awarded more than $3 million to hundreds of students statewide. 100 Club Scholarships have reduced the significant financial burden of college tuition for students in public safety families across Arizona. Most scholarships provided are $5,000 with a few select scholarships being $10,000. This past school year, the 100 Club was able to provide over 80 scholarships!

The 100 Club’s scholarship program is funded solely through generous community donations and committed giving by our sponsors. We are very thankful for each and every one of our donors; without them, we would be unable to offer this education assistance program. Many of our scholarships are what we refer to as “Named Scholarships,” meaning that a family has donated money to award in honor or memory of a loved one who has passed. Other scholarships may be sponsored by a local business; however, the majority of awarded scholarships are ‘100 Club Scholarships’ that come from money raised throughout the year by way of community donations and other fundraisers promoted by our local community partners.
