University Advancement

"Without this scholarship, it would have been harder for me to stay at this school. I am truly blessed for the help it has given me and it allows me to grow and learn at the U of A. It has also allowed me to learn about many different backgrounds of different individuals of people I have helped or worked with through the Alumni Scholarship."

Jayden Blair, Class of 2025

"My experience would not be possible without help from those who make the university a place of opportunity. I’m forever grateful for the passionate donors, faculty and students that encourage me to achieve my goals. Graduation is right around the corner, and I could not be prouder to be an Arkansas Razorback!"

Taylen Day, Class of 2023 

"It is extremely moving to know the stories behind our benefactors that lead them to give back to the U of A. Their support and inspiration help us build facilities, programs and experiences that directly lead to a better and better student each year. As a result, these students take a back seat to no one and become leaders in their respective fields."

"The staff at the CORD has created an incredible atmosphere between student workers, faculty and students! I feel incredibly supported in academic and career goals, and I feel very lucky to work for this organization."

"I will attend graduate school to get a master's degree in counseling, and then I hope to work for a nonprofit that advocates for children."

Kaytlin Dwyer, Class of 26

"At a time when education and health issues have grown more complex and critical to communities throughout Arkansas, it is inspiring to see the dedicated support from our benefactors and alumni. Their funding provides us with resources to empower future generations of educators and healthcare professionals, advance impactful research, and care for communities in Arkansas and beyond."
