"Like the diverse student body at AWC, we have a diverse offer- ing of scholarship opportunities. We encourage everyone to ap- ply for scholarships through our user-friendly scholarship portal," said Laura Knaresboro, AWC Foun- dation Executive Director. Current and incoming students can complete one general scholarship application to qualify for any ap- plicable scholarships awarded by the AWC Foundation. Scholarships are available in major-specifi c areas as well as for general education or transfer students. "There is often a misconception about GPA and fi nancial aid status when it comes to applying for schol- arships, but each award has different criteria. Spending 30-40 minutes of your time could unlock various scholarship opportunities. Go for it!" said Gladys Anaya, AWC Foun- dation Coordinator of Development and Alumni Relations. The AWC Foundation scholarship cycle opens Tuesday, February 15, and runs until Friday, April 1.

Proceeds from items sold from the auction are transferred to a custodial account where the funds will remain for the rightful owners to claim. Assets from abandoned safe de- posit boxes make up a portion of unclaimed money the Arizona De- partment of Revenue safeguards until the funds can be returned to claimants. ADOR's Unclaimed Property Unit returns millions of dollars of unclaimed assets to their rightful owners every year. In fi s- cal year 2021 (July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021), over $48 million was paid out. The Department returns the prop- erty to owners who provide docu- mentation showing their right to claim the property. People must include with their claim form a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license or other applicable identifi - cation, and documentation linking them to the owner's last known ad- dress, as reported by the company that fi led the unclaimed property. Claimants also must provide docu- mentation demonstrating a legal right to claim any property listed in another name.
