Earn to Learn

College Matched Scholarship Program

Hughes is proud to partner with Earn to Learn, the largest and most successful matched-savings scholarship program in the United States. Earn to Learn empowers low-to-moderate income students to pay for their college education by giving qualifying students an 8:1 savings match. 

Students who qualify for the program receive personal finance training and a matched Earn to Learn savings account to build scholarships up to $4000 per year for tuition and related costs at Arizona universities, community colleges and workforce development programs.

"I joined Hughes through the Earn to Learn program. Not only did I earn a
generous scholarship for college, I learned valuable financial lessons that
I shared with my family, who are now all Hughes members. With what we
have all learned during my senior year, my parents purchased their first home
and all of us are inspired to save and spend wisely, increase our credit
scores, and build wealth."
