Wow, is this terrific or what!
Arizona’s C-CAP scholarship awards total reached $544,824 this spring! This means we were able to provide increased amount to several well-deserving students.
First, Chelsea Edwards has won the $80,000 national Art Institute scholarship, the only C-CAP student in the country to be recognized with this award. From Desert Ridge High School in Mesa and EVIT’s culinary arts program, Chelsea plans to attend The Art Institute in Phoenix.
Luke Cornelius, Flagstaff, was awarded a total of $32,000, a full 75 percent of tuition for the culinary program at The Art Institute in Denver, Colo.
Because Lourdes Barerra of Maricopa is not able to relocate to New York state to take advantage of her CIA scholarship, she will instead attend The Art Institute in Phoenix. She’ll have a %50,000 scholarship for tuition, and an additional $5,000 to help with other school expenses.
We are proud, honored and excited to be able to provide this amount in scholarship funding to students across Arizona.
And just wait til next year!
