Endowed Gifts
Types of Endowments
Scholarship Endowments
Scholarship support is a continuing need for the College of Education and Health Professions. More than 800 students applied for some type of scholarship assistance in the College of Education and Health Professions for the 2009-10 academic year. An endowed scholarship provides a permanent scholarship fund to support future students. It can be need- or merit-based, and may be renewable or non-renewable for an individual student, depending on your preference.
Please contact Erin Hogue, Assistant Director of Development, at 479-575-4420 or by e-mail at ethogue@uark.edu for more information on scholarship funding or with questions about how to establish a scholarship fund that will enable future students to achieve their dreams and follow in your footsteps to success in their careers and in life.
Professorship Endowments
A named endowed professorship honors the donor and assists academic departments by providing the additional resources necessary to recruit and retain nationally recognized faculty. Income from an endowed professorship provides discretionary money that can be used to support research, conference travel, hiring of graduate assistants or a variety of other initiatives.
Other Established Endowments
