All-Arizona Academic Team

Phi Theta Kappa, two-year college presidents, and community college state associations co-sponsor All-State Academic Team recognition programs in 32 states. All-State recognition programs are most often held in the state capital with legislators, education leaders, and corporate leaders attending. All-State Team members receive special recognition including medallions, certificates, and oftentimes stipends and scholarships.

Each two-year college in Arizona may nominate two students per campus to the All-USA Academic Team. Students from Arizona nominated to the national team comprise the All-Arizona Academic Team. Nominations are based on outstanding academic performance and service to the college and community.
