AZ4Education Dashboard for Registered Members

by Brian January 26, 2013

What’s new or improved at AZ4Education? How about our dashboard! Most of the time we use our computers to make life easier and more fulfilling.   WE like to think AZ4Education is helping you make life a little easier too.  So what is a dashboard and how does it help you?    The term dashboard is what we like to call our user interface for registered members.     In the strictest sense of the word, the dashboard is a screen that shows you summary information or status of what’s going on.   In other words, things you might want to know about regarding […]

AZ4Education Online Scholarship Application Process

by Brian January 25, 2013

What’s new or improved at AZ4Education? For starters, online scholarships!

The online application lets you enter information in a standard simplified form.   You are can apply for up to 5 students, attach/upload documents, add individual student or family comments and more.   All information is kept secure, private and any optional uploaded critical records are purged when completed. Applying online will reduce your time filling out your application and if you register with us, you can make […]

January is Collection Month

by admin January 11, 2013

We all go through most of January with the sense that the holidays are over, the kids are back in school and our mailbox gets filled up with all of our important tax information. Hence I call it collection month. We go to the mailbox and pull out all of those important documents and put them in our favorite tax collection method. For me, it is a shoe box. After all of the documents are in, we either work on our taxes or we have someone that prepares them for us.  It is always an interesting event – taxes. We […]

Spring 2013 Scholarships Awarded

by admin December 17, 2012

Our spring scholarships have been awarded! Email notification to all scholarship recipients were sent out December 15! If you received the email, congratulations. If you did not receive an email notification, we truly wish that we could have done more. We continue to see more applications on every deadline that we have from the previous year. For me, it breaks my heart not to give everyone that is deserving a scholarship. Our promise to everyone. The volunteer staff will continue to increase our efforts in gathering as many donations as possible. We would like nothing more than to increase our […]

Give to AZ4Education and make a recommendation

by Brian November 28, 2012

Did you know that when you donate to AZ4Education, you can recommend a student or school to receive your donation? It’s one of the many benefits of donating that allows you more control of where your donation (ie. tax dollars) goes.   It’s no wonder why more donators are taking advantage of this feature. As you know, when you donate to AZ4Education, every dime is returned through an Arizona State tax credit.    That means you get to spend your tax dollars directly on education. So how does this work?   When you make your donation, simply give a name for a private […]

Meet Joseph

by admin November 15, 2012

You have met Brian and Steve in other blog postings. It is now time to meet Joe Bourcier, our newest board member. Growing up on the southwest side of Detroit as a young boy I wasn’t sure what the future held for me.  As I watched my Mother and Father gain success in their respective professions and my sister (who is 8 years older) earn straight A’s I knew that hard work was in my blood and a non-negotiable to succeed in life. I was the type of student athlete that had to study and practice every day to achieve […]
