full scholarship at Grand Canyon University for foster kids

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PHOENIX - Arizona foster children will receive a full scholarship at Grand Canyon University thanks to a first-of-its-kind partnership with the Arizona Department of Child Safety.

The Fostering Futures Scholarships program, announced today by Governor Doug Ducey, DCS Director Mike Faust and GCU President Brian Mueller, covers all tuition, fees, and year-round room and board for qualified Arizona foster children.

"With this program, Arizona's foster kids will get the support they need to get a college degree," said Governor Doug Ducey. "GCU's commitment to academically supporting foster youth and providing them with year-round housing is a game-changer. This scholarship program offers a gateway for foster youth to realize their untapped potential. I commend GCU for extending this generous offer to these young adults."

Nationwide, fewer than 10% of youth in foster care graduate with a four-year degree. The Fostering Futures Scholarships are funded by GCU scholarships with state and federal funding resources. In addition to the cost of higher education, housing stability is among the biggest challenges for youth aging out of foster care. It provides recipients with a year-round home as well as the opportunity to begin their adult life without any student debt.

The program will also incorporate additional support elements such as free tutoring, access to student worker jobs, mentoring, life skills programming designed to acclimate foster students into college life, and post-graduation planning assistance to help envision their path ahead.

"We strive to ensure that private, Christian education is within reach for all - and students who have aged out of the state's foster care system should be no exception," said GCU President Brian Mueller. "Our affordable tuition and room and board rates help make this opportunity possible, and we already have faculty, staff and students on campus who are familiar with the foster care system. With the right support system in place, these students have the tools to earn a college degree without incurring any debt and set themselves up to achieve great things in their adult lives."

The first Fostering Futures Scholarships are scheduled to be awarded for the 2022-23 academic year.

"Obtaining a college degree is difficult for every young adult, but especially so for youth in foster care, who face additional barriers," said DCS Director Mike Faust. "But foster youth are profoundly resilient and can flourish if they are given the tools and support they need. GCU's scholarship program will help remove the barriers so foster youth can succeed in college and life. We are honored to partner with GCU on this scholarship program and are grateful for their continued commitment to Arizona's foster youth."

Governor Ducey has prioritized ensuring all caregivers have the support they need.

In 2016, Governor Ducey signed " Jacob's Law" to ensure easier, better access to behavioral health care for Arizona foster kids and families. He also signed legislation to remove the "grandmother penalty" to ensure that grandparents aren't financially punished for taking in their grandchild.

The fiscal year 2018 budget increased funding for kinship caregivers, creating the "grandmother stipend." Under Governor Ducey's leadership, financial support for kinship families was raised from $0 to $75 a month per child regardless of family income.

The Arizona Promise Program opens the door of opportunity to students from low-income families. With a guaranteed scholarship for eligible students to cover Arizona public university tuition and fees, higher education will be more accessible and affordable for more Arizona students and their families.

What is the Arizona Promise Program?

The Arizona Promise Program provides financial assistance for students whose federal Pell grants or other financial aid don't cover the cost of college tuition and fees.

The award amount is up to the actual cost of in-state tuition, mandatory fees and program fees after other financial aid.

Qualifying students are guaranteed their tuition, mandatory fees and program fees will be fully covered.

Who is eligible for the Arizona Promise Program?

To qualify, a student must:

Be an Arizona resident.

Be an Arizona high school graduate who has completed courses required for admission to the universities with a minimum 2.5 GPA.

Complete the FAFSA application and qualify for the maximum federal Pell Grant.

Be accepted and enroll as a first-time, full-time, on-campus degree seeking student in an Arizona public four-year university in the fall semester immediately following high school graduation. (Some gaps in enrollment, such as for military service, may be allowed. Please check with the universities.)

How do I receive Arizona Promise Program funding?

Eligible students will automatically receive funding through the Arizona Promise Program. The universities determine the amount of funding qualifying students will receive, but the award will ensure the actual cost of the student's in-state tuition, and mandatory and program fees are covered.

The universities are awarding the funding to students already enrolled and who qualify in spring of 2022.

The board and the universities are launching a statewide awareness campaign to encourage additional students who qualify for the program to enroll in fall 2022.

A NEED FOR AN EDUCATED WORKFORCE

Arizona's continued prosperity depends on having an educated workforce. With a comparatively low college completion rate and a growing labor demand for workers with bachelor's degrees, Arizona is at an inflection point in its economic trajectory.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 48 percent of all new jobs created will require post high school attainment.

Job growth in Arizona is increasingly focused on those with a college education.

On its current trajectory, about 17% of Arizona ninth graders will have a bachelor's degree by 2029.

ARIZONA PROMISE PROGRAM BENEFITS: PROSPERITY FOR ALL

States and communities with a Promise Program transform the way students view college and their place in it. Promise Programs have resulted in:

Increased high school graduation.

Increased college enrollment.

Increased college completion.

"With the state's initial investment in the board's Arizona Promise Program scholarship, qualifying low-income Arizona students will have their tuition and fees paid in full to attend the Arizona public university of their choice. The value of a university degree has never been higher, and this program represents our promise that cost won't be a barrier to any deserving Arizona student."

- Regent Larry Penley

THE VALUE OF A DEGREE

78%

Percentage difference in median wages between Arizonans with a bachelor's degree ($51,179) and peers with a high school diploma ($28,821)

$1 BILLION

State taxes paid by Arizonans with a bachelor's degree

$18.6 BILLION

Wages earned by nearly 300,000 graduates of Arizona's public universities

AzTEDP Devices

Please see the application packet for a more comprehensive list.

Would you like to apply to our program?

1. Please print and complete the application then choose a device from the product catalog.

2. Have your certified professional complete and sign the appropriate section of the application. AzTEDP defines certified professionals as dispensing audiologists, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, speech-language pathologists, hearing aid dispensers or CRC certified vocational rehabilitation counselors.

3. After you gather the photocopies of the United States Citizenship and applicable name change documents along with Arizona residency documents, just send those copies, along with the program forms, to the AzTEDP office located at:

ACDHH/AzTEDP
100 N. 15th Ave, Suite 104
Phoenix, AZ 85007
The application process takes one to two weeks upon receipt of acomplete application packet. Incomplete applications will be returned with a pending information letter.

When and how do you receive your equipment?

1. After all forms and photocopied documentation have been received by AzTEDP, it will be reviewed for completeness.

2. If approved, a voucher will be printed for the device documented on the application and the voucher will be mailed to the recipient or designee with instructions on how to redeem the voucher. The instructions will include you signing your name where indicated and mailing the voucher to a supplier from the list.

3. The supplier will then ship the device to you. The device becomes your personal property after the warranty ends. A warranty comes with all voucher equipment. (Amplified phone users, be sure to turn on that amplifier!)

4. If CapTel is the phone of choice, a consultation is conducted over the phone or by email to determine if the CapTel is appropriate. It is important to understand that the Arizona Relay Service is involved as a third party producing the captions for the captioned phone. We also explain the Toll Free "Call Me" number in order for incoming calls to be captioned, as well as the slight delay of captions coming across the screen. If the CapTel 840 is appropriate, one will be issued directly from our inventory. Home visits can be arranged for installation and training on a case-by-case basis upon advance request. The CapTel 840 will always remain State of Arizona property. Please view the conversation example. Take note of how long the employee waits for the caller to speak. CLICK HERE. A video of how the CapTel is used in emergency 911 situations should also be viewed. CLICK HERE.

What about internet captioned telephones?

You may have seen CapTel or CaptionCall advertisements on T.V. or in publications. AzTEDP does NOT provide any of the CapTel internet models, ClearCaptions Blue or the CaptionCall telephones. All of these models utilize the internet and analog phone service in a person's home. Information about those phones and program information can be found on their respective websites.

The biggest benefit of having an internet version of the captioned telephone is that the party calling the internet captioned phone user does not have to call a special captioning number with every call. The delay of captions may be lessened via internet, but there is still a delay.

If a captioned telephone isn't appropriate, amplified phones can often provide the needed improvement.

How did AzTEDP begin?

In 1986, the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing (ACDHH) began a program to distribute TTYs to Deaf Arizonans so they could access the public telephone system. Today, AzTEDP has grown into one of the most comprehensive telecommunication loan programs in the nation, serving the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind/CVHL, and Speech-Impaired residents of Arizona.

The Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) is a collaboration of youth leaders offered once a year in various parts of Arizona. During these summits, youth come together to discuss and identify key elements of leadership, and how to become leaders in their own communities. This past year, the YLS was held in Sierra Vista, Casa Grande and Yuma, with a collective attendance of more than 75 youth leaders. The length of a summit is approximately 6 hours and is generally guided by a Youth Peer Support staff member of MIKID.

The topics of these summits include youth voice, building support, working as a team, professionalism, communication, self-care/wellness, and action planning. These topics are explored by encouraging youth to participate in discussion, role-playing, and other interactive activities to provide a dynamic learning experience. These summits provide youth the opportunity to share changes they wish to see in their own community and how to implement these changes through developing an action plan. Following each summit, youth leaders evaluate the material covered and instructor performance to further improve the quality of the next summit.

As news outlets share more about the growing crisis of COVID-19 and its impact on our community, we wanted to connect as we navigate through the uncertainty together. We are taking every precaution here at our offices and in our work throughout the community to ensure that we all stay healthy and safe.

Our offices are closed to outside visitors and volunteer groups, but we continue to deliver quality housing and support services to families in need. Our families need help now more than ever! Below are some ways YOU can help the families we serve during this difficult time:

1) Drop off donations like shelf-stable food items or hygiene products at Save the Family's Donation Center, located at 444 N. Country Club Drive, Mesa, AZ 85201, between 8 am and 1 pm, 2 pm to 5 pm. Just like everyone else, our families are in need of toilet paper, paper towels, and pantry necessities. However, in many cases our families are limited by SNAP benefit allowances and are additionally burdened by school and youth program closures that typically help meet nutritional needs for little ones.

2) Stay social while staying safe. Follow us on We want to stay connected to you despite fewer chances to meet in person.

3) The CARES Act provides for a $300 ($600 for married couples filing jointly) "above the line" charitable deduction for charitable contributions made to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations like Save the Family. The temporary deduction is only available to taxpayers who do not itemize their deductions. Contact your tax professional for additional information on your personal situation, and make a donation online today!

We remain committed to providing stable housing and a chance at economic security for vulnerable, low-income and homeless families.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families, and we wish you health and safety during the coming days.

Yours in Service,
Jacki Taylor, CEO

NOAH | Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The work of Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) continues to transcend and impact the lives of over 40,000 community members. Your donation helps NOAH provide health care services including dental, behavioral health, medical, and health education programs for children and families. Plus, your donation qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit - meaning your donation of up to $400 for a single taxpayer or $800 for married filers may not cost you a dime.

What the community is saying

"NOAH gave my family hope when we needed it most."
In 2008, my family and I relocated to the United States. Without health insurance and access to healthcare, we didn't know where to turn. We were referred to NOAH-Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health, an organization that focuses on helping all people, even those that are vulnerable. They treated our health care needs, giving my family hope.

In 2010, I wanted to advocate for the great work NOAH does for their patients and chose to become a member of the Board of Directors. Community health centers provide care to everyone, even the under-resourced and under-insured.

"I am thankful for the attention to detail and sincere communication that NOAH has provided. Above all, NOAH offers endless possibilities for improving your health care."
Maricela and Jose have been patients at Palomino for a number of years. They have always appreciated the attention and care that they receive at NOAH. Last year, Jose was sick and unable to work and provide for their family. After visiting his primary care doctor, Jose was discouraged to learn that the family could not afford the treatment plan for his illness. On Maricela's request, Jose visited NOAH Palomino Health Center. The NOAH provider developed a treatment plan that created a path for Jose's recovery. After a few weeks, Jose was able to begin working again.

"They help us make sure we don't have cavities by taking out the sugar buggies in our mouth!"
Eleni and her 2 brothers have been coming to the NOAH dentist for over 2 years. The dental staff has made such an impact on their family and their quality of life that Eleni creates artwork for NOAH to show her appreciation.

"NOAH has changed my life completely."
I have been to many doctors and they cannot compare to NOAH. Prior to my hip surgery in September, I developed an ulcer on my foot. The staff at Palomino helped me prepare for my surgery. I am now able to walk! I am very grateful for all the care coordination that NOAH has done and thankful from the bottom of my heart to Palomino Health Center.

"I used to be the good one. I got the good grades, did good in sports, just excelled at everything that I did. Everything started changing and I had no feelings, I was completely numb to all of it. Literally, my goal everyday was how am I going to get money for heroin or how am I going to get heroin."

My life matters more than that ... and so does everyone else's.

RideChoice® changes due to COVID-19

Face coverings required under federal law
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an order that all travelers on public transit are required to wear a face covering starting Tuesday, February 2. Under federal law, no mask, no ride and riders can be denied service for not wearing a face covering. Riders should have their face covering on while at the stop to let operators know they are ready to board. Face coverings should be worn at all times while on board or a rider can be told to get off at the next stop for not complying.

This federal law is in addition to the executive order issued by President Biden in January. For more information on these new federal laws, visit valleymetro.org/news/2021/01/cdc-issues-order-requiring-face-masks-public-transit.

If you have any questions about face coverings requirements please call RideChoice at (602) 716-2111.

What is RideChoice?

RideChoice is for ADA paratransit certified people with disabilities and seniors age 65 and above who reside in participating communities.

Valley Metro RideChoice now has easier access to a larger network of rideshare transportation providers including Uber, taxicabs and other wheelchair-accessible vehicles. You will also get more trips to travel to where you want to go.

Once you are eligible, call (602) 716-2111 for all your RideChoice needs. The RideChoice Call Center and service are available 24 hours per day, every day of the year, including holidays.

Request your ride when you want to travel, there's no requirement to book ahead.

Take up to 20 trips per month! If you need more trips for work, school or medical appointments, call Valley Metro at (602) 716-2111 so we can evaluate and act on your request.

RideChoice costs $3 for each trip up to eight miles, with any additional miles costing $2 per mile.

Go straight there. You do not have to share your ride.

If you need wheelchair-accessible service, just ask. There is no additional charge.

In keeping with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Arizona state law, service animals are welcome, at no additional charge.

Be ready to provide your pick-up and drop-off addresses, the date and time you wish to travel, and the transportation provider you wish to use for the trip. Providers include rideshare companies, several local taxicab companies and other companies who provide wheelchair-accessible service.

When you book your trip, the RideChoice Customer Service representative will advise you of the length of your trip and the amount that you will be charged. Fares may be paid with and credit or debit card. You may also pay for RideChoice by having our provider deduct the fare from your checking account.

Be ready to board when the vehicle arrives. Your RideChoice driver is not required to wait more than five minutes for you to board, so be ready.

RideChoice is a commercial product, comparable to taxi or rideshare service. Drivers may provide basic assistance to and from the vehicle and may assist with the carrying of small packages and/or with the stowing of manual wheelchairs and walkers.
