THATCHER — Eastern Arizona College’s Foundation is pleased to announce that the United Way of Graham County has awarded $50,000 in scholarship assistance for the fifth consecutive year.

Eleven of this year’s 20 recipients received full tuition scholarships. Student recipients are graduates from Graham and Greenlee County high schools and are eligible to receive up to four semesters of tuition as they maintain good academic progress and a 3.0-grade point average.

Donations are made possible by companies matching donations from those who support the United Way through payroll deductions.

“We’re grateful for the generous individuals, businesses, and service organizations that give of their time and financial resources to bring brighter futures to our citizens and make our community a better place to live,” said EAC Foundation Executive Director David Udall.

The EAC Foundation, on behalf of these students, is profoundly grateful for the opportunities made possible through help from the United Way of Graham County. For more information contact Udall at
