Early Outreach Scholarship

Overview

The mission of Access ASU is to deepen and widen the pipeline of Arizona youth enrolling and succeeding at Arizona State University while leveraging the resources at ASU. Accomplishing this mission requires the assistance of staff and current ASU students with a passion to inspire interest in postsecondary education. The Early Outreach Scholarship (EOS) program endorses ASU students as role models for K-12 grade students. Scholarship recipients “give back” by promoting a college going culture to their own high schools, other schools and community organizations throughout Arizona and completing 100 service hours as an Access ASU Campus Ambassador, a Hispanic Mother Daughter Program (HMDP) Peer Mentor, or SPARKS Ambassador.
