Student Foundation Scholarship

The Student Foundation Scholars Program was established by the ASU Student Foundation in 1971. The ASU Student Foundation (STUFO) is sponsored by the ASU Foundation. Our mission is to increase affinity for ASU among its students, and to educate students about the importance of philanthropy at ASU.

Multiple Student Foundation Scholarship scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 will be awarded based on an application, personal statement, and recommendation letter. The scholarship is limited to current ASU undergraduate and graduate students at any of the ASU campuses (Tempe, Polytechnic, West, Downtown, Lake Havasu and Online). The award will be evenly divided between the Fall and Spring academic semesters.
