Welcome to the new Amphitheater Public Schools website platform

Our new websites are designed to highlight the District and our schools and provide families and staff with the information they need.

While we are excited to launch the new sites, the project does come with a few potential (and temporary) issues. We request your patience and assistance as we continue to refine the pages on each site.

If you need information urgently and can’t locate it on the website or see an error, please email answers@amphi.com, and we will respond and address the concern as quickly as possible, typically the same day or within 24 hours.

For non-urgent help or to provide suggestions or feedback, please copy/paste this link to submit a feedback form: https://forms.office.com/r/qAtdJ18ZhR.

We welcome your input and appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue refining the website throughout the summer. Your ideas will help us make our sites more useful for everyone.

How do Amphitheater High School students find information about scholarships?

  • The BEST way to find scholarships is to apply to schools you are interested in.  Why?  For example, all three in-state universities and Pima Community College have dedicated matching scholarship searches ONLY available to students who have been accepted.  The scholarships you find in those portals are vetted (legitimate) and usually matched to your strengths, which increases your chances of earning them.
  • Speak with your school counselor, college advisor, or Gear Up coach for up-to-date information.
  • Check the AHS counseling website frequently.
  • You can check out the Amphi Scholarship Bulletin here. (This link is being changed; check back later.)
  • Use scholarship search engines on Collegeboard. www.collegeboard.org

There are two types of scholarships: Merit Based Institutional scholarships and "Private" or "External" scholarships.  To get merit-based institutional scholarships, try to get the best grades possible all through high school, keeping your G.P.A. (Grade Point Average) close to 4.0, which is the highest you can get.  The great thing about Merit Based Institutional scholarships is that you don't need to apply for them as a senior.  When you apply to Universities, you will be awarded them automatically based on your high school performance.  Many Amphi students who attend university after high school rely on these scholarships to help pay for school every year.

Private or external scholarships are competitive scholarships with different eligibility criteria.  Many websites have lists of these types of scholarships.  But it would be best if you were sure the scholarship is legitimate.  If a scholarship ever asks you to send money, it is not a real scholarship.  Please talk to your counselor if you have questions.
