As part of its ongoing commitment to making higher education highly accessible for working students, University of Phoenix is proud to announce the recipients of the 2010 Finish StrongSM Scholarship, which will provide full-tuition undergraduate or master’s degree scholarships to 16 deserving men and women.
“These recipients have persevered through incredible circumstances and life challenges in their pursuit of higher education,” said Bill Pepicello, University of Phoenix President. “We are excited to partner with them, providing a flexible learning environment where they can complete their degrees and jumpstart their future.”
University of Phoenix created the Finish StrongSM Scholarship in 2009 to help working adults who started, but were unable to complete their college degrees for various reasons, including family obligations, health impediments, and work responsibilities. Scholarship applicants were asked to submit an essay on their desire to advance their education, with an emphasis on furthering their careers and/or impacting their local communities. Scholarship recipients will have the option of choosing to enroll in the University’s online program or one of more than 200 University of Phoenix campus locations across the country.
