SCOTTSDALE – The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation Annual Awards Dinner celebrates Arizona scholarship recipients and veterans. Students are spread across the state at more than a dozen Arizona colleges, universities and vocational schools. The event also honors the local community that invested more than $835,000 last year alone to support these children’s dreams of higher-education.

This year’s dinner is being held in conjunction with Marine Week Phoenix and will be the capstone of the week’s festivities. The dinner will include a key-note address from a Military Guest of Honor, a speech from one of the scholarship recipients and the presentation of the Semper Fidelis and Service Above Self awards to notable community leaders.
