Application
The First Place® AZ Bridge the Gap Scholarship Fund was established as a needs-based scholarship for incoming students who require financial assistance to bridge the gap in order to attend the Transition Academy. These students are also committed to overall success in the Transition Academy program areas of employment, personal and household management, community engagement and self-determination.
The scholarship committee will review the submissions and award the 2020 scholarships sometime in June.
We encourage you to apply if you need financial assistance and are motivated to succeed. Best of luck and we look forward to your joining us for the extraordinary journey that awaits you at the First Place Transition Academy!
