Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, 小黄鸭视频 is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at 小黄鸭视频, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
