Scholarships
Helping students afford the dream of a college education.
The Neely Foundation funds scholarships to students who aspire to obtain a bachelor’s degree at an approved college or university in Arizona.
Seniors at select high schools in the Southeast Phoenix metro area are eligible to apply for the $4,000 per academic year scholarship. One recipient among graduating seniors at each of the approved high schools is selected each year by the respective high school counseling department.
