College is for everyone

The PRISM Scholarship helps LGBTQIA+ students and allies attending Maricopa Community Colleges overcome financial barriers to complete their college degree.

The PRISM Scholarship Application opens September 1 for the Spring Semester.

College should be about planning your future—not worrying about whether you can afford to finish.

For many LGBTQIA+ students, the path to a degree comes with real challenges. Tuition, books, and living expenses can add up quickly, and too often, financial pressures force students to pause or abandon their dreams.

The PRISM Scholarship is here to change that.

Funded entirely by private donations, the scholarship is designed to help you stay enrolled, cross the finish line, and open the door to a brighter future.

When you earn your degree, you’re not just changing your life—you’re helping to build a stronger, more vibrant community for all of us.

Apply today and take the next step toward finishing what you started.
