Nikki Ferguson Scholarship

The Nikki Ferguson Scholarship was established to support students graduating from a Yuma High School or Cibola High School who will attend a Yuma County College. Preference is given to Arizona Western College but the scholarship is open to all Yuma County colleges. This scholarship enables future Yuma H.S. Criminals or Cibola Raiders to pursue careers in Health or Business professions. Although her life was cut much too short, Nikki's dream of service to the community will live on through others. The scholarship is need-based and renewable, with first preference given to female graduating seniors of Yuma High School. The application period opens January 1, 2026 and closes March 16, 2026.
