The most common way to meet this requirement was to pass the writing, reading, and mathematics content areas of the AIMS HS test.
Additionally, starting with the class of 2006, high-school students in Arizona who exceeded all three standards in reading, writing, and math may have been eligible for a scholarship to any of the three public state universities if they also met certain other criteria.
Students must have also met at least one of the following academic requirements: A cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher on an unweighted 4.0 scale, or rank in the top 5% of their graduating class.
Qualified students would receive a full state university tuition waiver valid for one year following graduation from high school.
The actual dollar amount of the scholarship varied based upon the tuition charged by the state university in which they enrolled.
