About Quartzsite, Arizona

Quartzsite is a town in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. Quartzsite's current location was the site of a waterhole from 1863 to the 1880s and was later a stage station, called Tyson's Wells, along the La Paz - Wikenburg Road on Tyson Wash, in what was then Yuma County, in the newly created Arizona Territory. One of the primary locations in the 1988 computer role-playing game Wasteland is the town of Quartz. Wasteland Scenario Designer Ken St. Andre, a lifelong resident of Phoenix, Arizona, confirmed that Quartz is fictionalized version of the real town of "Quartzite" [sic]. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

55%
of first-years get a grant from the school
$10,292
average award, among those who get one

A meaningful share of freshmen — 55% — get grant money from Community Christian College itself, averaging $10,292, which softens the sticker price.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 191 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
