As of a 2023 change in Arizona state law, students, regardless of their immigration status, are eligible for tuition assistance through the Maricopa
Grant Program, provided they meet the assistance qualification requirements. Please ensure you review all qualifications for the tuition assistance
program for which you seek funds. High School students pursuing Maricopa Grant Funds, to assist in the cost of Dual Enrollment, must still provide
documentation demonstrating residency in the State of Arizona.
The Maricopa Grant may be applied toward resident tuition and registration fees in dual enrollment courses only. Students are responsible for all
other fees and charges.
The Maricopa Grant may cover a maximum of twelve credit hours per student per year for all Maricopa Community College dual enrollment courses
(number of credits depends on college budget and funding).
Students must earn a grade of A, B, or C in all dual enrollment classes in order to be eligible for the Maricopa Grant in a future semester.
Withdrawal from a course funded by the Maricopa Grant program after the last date for Official Course Withdrawal will disqualify a student for any
future tuition assistance while in high school. A disqualified student may request reconsideration based on extenuating circumstances. The awarding
of aid will be at the college’s discretion.
