Arizona Quest For Kids
Updated at April 22, 2009 12:39
The Arizona Quest for Kids (AQFK) mission is simple: to provide support for college graduation to low income students with academic potential. Enrolled in
the fifth grade, students are paired with a caring adult mentor who supports their academic and personal development. Career-focused enrichment opportunities
and a comprehensive college guidance initiative are essential components of the program. AQFK also provides educational workshops and resource referrals
to families as they support their child’s pursuit of a college education. Students who maintain a 3.0 grade point average, stay drug and crime free, meet all program
requirements and graduate from high school receive a scholarship up to the equivalent of four years’ tuition at an Arizona university. Read more about this invaluable community service at www.azquestforkids.org.
