Emily Krauz Staff Endowment Scholarship

The Staff Endowment was begun in the late 1980's as part of the Century II Capital Campaign. In 1996 the fund was renamed "The Emily Krauz Staff Endowment Scholarship" in honor of Emily Krauz, a dedicated staff member who worked as an administrative associate at the Faculty Center until she passed on in 1996. The fund has been funded entirely through donations from UA employees, not all of whom were Classified Staff members. The Staff Advisory Council was given the responsibility of overseeing the endowment and the awarding of the earned interest.

The Emily Krauz Staff Endowment Scholarship is open to any benefits-eligible UA classified staff member. The purpose of the fund is to encourage and support UA career staff members towards their career advancement and/or education.

This scholarship can be applied towards educational expenses such as registration costs, books and supplies. Class registration may be at the UA, including correspondence courses, or Pima Community College.

Awards are presented twice a year and average about $150.00 to each recipient. The total amount awarded every fall and spring is about $1,000.00. Due to the large number of applicants, not all will receive an award. Recipients and amounts awarded to each are chosen by an independent selection committee from those who have applied during the preceding months to June and November. Recipients are notified with a letter and are also published at this Winners Page.

Scholarship recipients are reimbursed for their expenses AFTER they turn in their receipts, up to the amount of the award. For example, if you are awarded $150.00 and hand in receipts for tuition, books and supplies for $90.00, you will be reimbursed for $90.00.

SAC gladly welcomes contributions to the Endowment fund. You can even write in Emily Krauz on your United Way giving form to make a quick and painless donation! If you or your organization would like to make a tax-deductible contribution to the Emily Krauz Endowment or for more information on the Emily Krauz Endowment contact Ana Rodriguez, scholarship chair.
