   Are you worried about the cost of college? Many are because prices for higher education continue to rise. 

   For senior Taylor Conley and her hard work and effort, however, the cost is alleviated by a full ride Stamps scholarship at the University of Arizona. 

   The scholarship,, according to the UA website, “recognizes and rewards exceptional scholars who exemplify leadership, scholarship, and service.” Taylor’s housing, fees and books will be paid for. 

   Additionally, she will be awarded a $16,000 enrichment, or dream fund, over four years that can be used towards expenses such as, according to the UA website, “study abroad programs, research, or other internships academic or co-curricular conferences, or leadership training.” 

   Taylor has an excellent academic record and has participated in intense extracurriculars over the last four years. Some of the activities she was a part of include speech and debate, advocating for the Arizona Youth Climate Coalition and leading Math Society and Rainbow Alliance. 

   Taylor said that she “loves Tucson and (W.A. Franke) Honors College,” and she is very excited for her next four years.
