Programs funded include a workforce development program for those struggling to find employment, a micro-entrepreneur education and training program for underrepresented business owners, a health promotion and independent living program for those living with chronic health conditions and other physical disabilities, and mentoring and job training programs for vulnerable youth.

Scholarships range from $2,500 to $10,000 for graduating high school seniors and adult learners (non-traditional students) attending 2- or 4- year colleges or universities in the state of Arizona. Scholarships are also awarded to low-income high school students pursuing certifications through career and technical education programs to cover program and certification fees, as well as equipment and supplies required for their programs.
