Excellent Educator Award & Student Integrity Prize

The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona administers the Excellent Educator Award & Student Integrity Prize. This program is designed to recognize and support educators and students who demonstrate integrity, leadership, and excellence within Southern Arizona schools. It aims to honor individuals whose dedication and service help strengthen the local educational community. Because this program functions as an award and prize rather than a traditional need-based scholarship, it operates independently of federal or state financial aid applications, meaning applicants do not need to submit the FAFSA or a state-specific financial aid form to qualify. Funding from the award can be used to support the educational endeavors of the recipients. Those who are interested in applying or nominating an individual should consult the official provider website to view current deadlines and submission timelines, as dates vary. See the official page for current dates.
