A groundbreaking scholarship initiative is set to transform the educational landscape for Hispanic students in Arizona. Through an innovative partnership between Northern Arizona University (NAU) and Univision Arizona, the “Tu Futuro” scholarship program promises to remove financial barriers for ambitious students seeking higher education, offering comprehensive coverage of tuition and housing costs for a four-year undergraduate degree.
Expanding educational opportunities for Hispanic students
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in NAU’s commitment to serving the Hispanic community. As one of the nation’s top 10 institutions for awarding bachelor’s degrees to Hispanic students, NAU’s status as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) continues to strengthen through initiatives like this scholarship program.
The impact of the program will be doubled through NAU’s Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid’s commitment to match Univision Arizona’s contribution with an additional scholarship each year.
Mark Masepohl, president and regional general manager of Univision Arizona, emphasized the program’s significance. “Education is the key to the future of our community and Univision Arizona is committed to measurable steps to provide educational opportunities,” he told the NAU Review.
Application process & eligibility
Prospective students entering their first year in the 2025-26 academic year can participate in the scholarship competition by submitting a 250-word essay between December 2, 2024, and April 15, 2025. The essay should detail how earning a college degree would impact both their personal future and the broader Hispanic community. Interested students can find detailed information at nau.edu/Univision-scholarship.
Nick Lobjeko, vice president of NAU Advancement and CEO of the NAU Foundation, expressed gratitude for the partnership, stating, “The NAU Foundation is incredibly thankful to Univision Arizona for investing in our students and strengthening NAU’s designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution. Their commitment to student success creates access and opportunities for students to persist in their pursuit of a college degree.”
The “Tu Futuro” scholarship program is part of Univision Arizona Contigo’s broader community empowerment initiative, demonstrating both organizations’ dedication to fostering educational achievement within the Hispanic community.
