Scholarship receipientsAll Arizona/All USA Academic Team Scholarship

Each year, the Arizona Board of Regents provides tuition scholarships to exceptional Arizona resident community college transfer students. Awards are based on the student's outstanding academic performance and community service. Up to two students from each campus can receive this scholarship. The All-Arizona scholarship covers tuition(for Fall and Spring semesters) for up to 60 credits to one of the three Arizona State Universities.

Students are nominated by their community college and submit their applications directly to the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.

Each Arizona community college may nominate two students per campus as All-Arizona Academic Team members. These students are then eligible and are included in the All-USA Scholarship program. During this process, Phi Theta Kappa conducts three rounds of judging. First-round judges consist of business, civic, education, and government leaders. The second and third rounds are held in Washington, D.C., and the judges are representatives of various federal agencies and national education associations.

Why does the deadline listed on PTK.org/scholarships differ from the YC deadline?

The date posted on the PTK website is for the All-USA scholarship.  This is the date the names of our YC recipients must be submitted.  Local judging of applications occurs prior to the PTK date.  For this reason, the YC deadline is November 10, 2023 @ midnight.
