Phoenix, AZ – College Bound AZ, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational support to students, is proud to announce its giving period to bridge the gap in higher education.
Through their Equity through Education initiative, College Bound AZ recognizes the challenges some students face transitioning from high school to college, students that often fall through the cracks. The nonprofit has served thousands of students, providing essential support to ensure that higher education opportunities reach all levels of society.
“Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or financial situation,” said Elizabeth Paulus, College Bound AZ Executive Director. Elizabeth Paulus added, “Our end-of-year giving focus aims to raise awareness and funds to support students in overcoming the barriers between them and their academic goals.”

This season of giving spotlights students’ urgent needs, including essentials like laptops, hygiene items, and scholarships.

One success story is Kyle, a young man with autism who saw trade school as his future. When COVID caused the class to shutter, College Bound AZ stepped in, helping him secure scholarships and a postgraduate internship at Honeywell. Today, Kyle is an engineering student poised to graduate from Arizona State University and step into a career earning over $100,000 annually – a testament to the transformative power of education and opportunity.
“We believe every student has the potential to excel, and we’re committed to helping them achieve their dreams,” added Director Elizabeth Paulus. “We invite the community to join us during this giving season in this mission to make higher education accessible to all.”
