“At Cox, inclusion, diversity and equity are part of our core values. Over the past nine years, we are thrilled to have awarded more than $300,000 to students in our southwest region, including Arizona.

In 2021 Chloe Hiller, a new grad from Arcadia High School, received a Cox Diversity Scholarship to help her pursue her dream to become a news producer. “Being awarded this scholarship not only reduces my financial burden, but it further motivates me to stay committed to working hard as I pursue a degree in Journalism at The University of Arizona,” said scholar Hiller.
