The spirit of the Armstrong Family Foundation Scholarship
Program is to replace, to the extent we are able, the financial and
personal support that is missing from some students' lives due to
family circumstances beyond their control. It is available to
Arizona residents that are orphans, wards of the court, in foster
care, or qualified independent students.
An important component of the program is recipient involvement
in other Foundation activities, including Service Learning,
semester trips to work with Rancho Feliz initiatives in Mexico as
well as regular group meetings. Recently Peer Counseling has
been added as a further component of the program.
The program has grown from four students in 1999 to an expected
total of twenty students for the 2005-2006 academic year. The
scholarship amount varies depending on individual student need.
In addition to the program's specific eligibility rules, students are
selected based on academic achievement and ambitious personal
traits. Each student is interviewed by a panel consisting of ASU
Foundation personnel and members of the Armstrong family.
The ASU application process, including an application form, can be
