Our Opportunities
The Mesa Scholarship Cycle is open from December 5, 2024 – February 13, 2025.
The Mesa College scholarship program enables students to complete their studies, and is one of the keys to ensuring student success through financial support. Scholarships range in value from $250 – $3,000 Scholarship opportunities are available to all Mesa students. You may apply to as many scholarships as you are eligible for, but you may only receive up to three awards. If you earn a scholarship, you will be notified via email in April and will need to take action to accept your scholarships. We also ask that you join our annual Scholarship Awards Recognition Celebration to take place on April 30, 2025.
