Our Donors

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.
