Our Donors

A-State scholarships are open to all eligible students regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability, or any other status protected under applicable law.
Arkansas State University reserves the right to make changes to the scholarship program at any time based on available funding and eligible applicants.

Privately Funded Scholarships differ from Institutional Scholarships, whereas a donor wanted to assist students beyond generally offered institutional scholarship opportunities. These scholarships were created by individuals, groups of individuals or businesses who want to give back to Arkansas State and assist those students with their educational pursuits. Each scholarship will differ in criteria and content; however, each is intended to help students to achieve the academic goals. It is a great honor to be selected to receive such a scholarship and thank you notes are required from each student recipient.
