Five Arizona residents to be awarded
full-tuition scholarships to University of Phoenix
Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman, is once
again partnering with University of Phoenix to offer five
full-tuition scholarships to deserving individuals in Arizona in
2016. Goldschmidt is available to answer questions about the
scholarship Tuesday, June 28, at 1:45 p.m. in the Press Interview
Room at Chase Field.
The “Teaming Up For Education” scholarship program is the result
of a partnership between University of Phoenix and the Arizona
Diamondbacks Foundation, and has made college education a reality
for 17 Arizona residents since 2011. Of the scholarship recipients,
seven have already received degrees from University of Phoenix
while the others continue to pursue their education goals.
Goldschmidt attended University of Phoenix while playing for the
D-backs and received a Bachelor of Science in Management in 2013.
This is his third year of being involved with the University’s
scholarship program.
“Education is one of the most important tools we have for
strengthening a community,” said Goldschmidt. “As a proud alumnus,
I am excited to be working with University of Phoenix in our shared
passions of giving back to Arizona and making the benefits of
higher education a reality.”
University of Phoenix has a long history of working with
athletes, professional teams and athletic foundations who share a
commitment to higher education. Last year, Goldschmidt and
University of Phoenix expanded the scholarship program, increasing
the number of scholarships from three to five. Goldschmidt, along
with his wife Amy, will select the five 2016 recipients and present
them with their awards at the D-backs game versus the San Diego
Padres on Sept. 30, 2016.
“Paul is a great example of the success of our alumni and the
impact they make in their communities,” said Timothy P. Slottow,
president of University of Phoenix. “Our alumni live with purpose
and overcome adversity in pursuit of their goals and we are
grateful to see more rise to the challenge and realize their
potential.”
“The D-backs believe that everyone should have the opportunity
to receive an advanced education, and we are proud that Paul and
Amy have stepped up to the plate to ensure that five recipients
will be able to continue their education with our partners at
University of Phoenix,” said D-backs President & CEO Derrick
Hall. “Paul worked very hard to receive his degree from University
of Phoenix, while also having a record season with the D-backs, and
we look forward to seeing the success these recipients will have in
the classroom.”
Applications for the scholarship are being accepted now through
July 31, 2016, at phoenix.edu/dbacks. For more information about
