Great Hearts Arizona Class of 2026 Secures $53.8 Million in Scholarships

The graduating class, spanning locations from Scottsdale to Buckeye, displayed a strong inclination toward advanced studies, with 57 percent of students planning to pursue degrees in STEM fields. Ninety-four percent of these graduates are heading directly to college, supported by the merit-based financial packages awarded to 78 percent of the group. Beyond financial achievements, the students earned significant academic recognition, including six National Merit finalists and 90 National Scholars.

Dan Scoggin, co-founder of the nonprofit network, attributed these results to the organization's classical, liberal arts curriculum. He noted that the scholarship totals represent the culmination of character development and rigorous instruction provided by the network’s faculty. Great Hearts currently operates as a tuition-free public school system in Arizona, maintaining a focus on high academic standards and moral formation that distinguishes its graduates in an increasingly competitive university admissions landscape.
