Additional Information: This award was founded by the grandchildren of Albert R. and Nellie D. Spikes. Albert began his career as Bowie teacher, and went on to become principal, superintendent and ultimately a state senator in Arizona. Nelly remained a teacher and educator in the Bowie, San Simon, and Wilcox area. Throughout their careers and lives, Albert and Nelly always emphasized the value of education, so this award is designed to promote this value for local area Bowie students. The Arizona Community Foundation provides scholarships for high school seniors and current college students throughout Arizona. Selection for awards is based primarily on academic records, financial need (as demonstrated by the FAFSA paperwork), and the quality of other submission items such as essays and recommendation letters.

Award Amount: $1,000 to $6,000 annually, non-renewable. Previous recipients are eligible to re-apply and may receive priority for future awards.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $3,500.
