Sponsor a Company Scholarship The University South Foundation Inc selects and awards scholarships to University of Arizona South students each year A tax deductible donation of 1 000 or more can be awarded to a specialized scholarship in your company s name This is a great opportunity to support higher education in your field of interest strengthening education for your company s future our community s future and more Words cannot express how thankful I am to have been selected to receive this scholarship There was a time in my life where I did not think I would amount to much I was a senior in high school expecting a child and I was told by many that I would end up a high school drop out with no prospects of a college education Because of these negative perceptions I once thought an education from the University of Arizona was superior or above me My life has been defined by constantly battling to overcome being viewed as just another statistic I tried so hard to prove this to others only to come to realization that the only person I needed to prove this to is myself My education is allowing me to be a better role model not only to my own children but to the young girl or boy that feel hopeless and alone the way I once did I can show them that if I achieved my educational goals with all the adversities I have been through they can achieve anything their hearts desire With hard work perseverance and a strong will I am on my way to achieving all my educational and career goals To the University South Foundation and the community members that made this scholarship possible I am beyond grateful for helping me in continuing my pursuit and allowing me to experience a sense of community support and motivation that I once found almost impossible to receive Ivonne Valenzuela 16
