Scholarships

Higher education can unlock a whole new world of opportunities and be a stepping stone to a great new career.

Fresh Start offers unique scholarship opportunities to our most active clients at the Thrive level, with assistance for those looking to complete a certificate or vocational program at a school/institute in Arizona. 

Note: Fresh Start no longer provides funding for Master's degrees.

E. Jean Goulet Scholarship

The E. Jean Goulet Scholarship assists Fresh Start clients who have demonstrated financial need to fund educational and career pursuits. The scholarship award can be used for approved vocational programs, job training costs and certification, and many other job-related programs. Funds may only be used to cover the cost of tuition and/or program expenses. Interested clients must attend an information session.

For eligibility requirements, and application and information session questions, contact Kelsey Rendelman at krendelman@fswf.org
