The Minority & Small Business Alliance of Southern Arizona is a non-profit 501c (3) organization composed of members from local, state and federal agencies as well as corporations and small business owners.
As part of its commitment to assisting growth in the Tucson and Southern Arizona Community, the MSBA, fourteen years ago, began a Scholarship Program to help those students with financial needs attending an accredited educational institutions in Southern Arizona.
This scholarship is available to U.S. citizens who are currently enrolled full time as a sophomore or above. Scholarship awards are $1,000 – $3,000 each and are placed in the students’ campus account and may be used for the purchase of books, fees or other-college related expenses.
We wish all of the students applying for these scholarships the best of luck and continued success as you continue your college career. For more information regarding the Scholarship Program please call Lydia Aranda, MSBA Chair, at (971) 832-3867.
