Named scholarships & funds

When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.

For this reason, The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ 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 The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, 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.

Women in Philanthropy Endowed Fund

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Women in Philanthropy Endowed Fund, formerly known as The Women in Philanthropy Giving Circle Fund, was established in 2021 under the leadership of Marlene K. Toot, Chair of The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Foundation's Stewardship and Women in Philanthropy Committee, and First Lady Georgia Nix Miller.

Women in Philanthropy, launched under the umbrella of The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ's We Rise Together Campaign, celebrates the profound impact of all philanthropists. Women in Philanthropy was established to engage benefactors in a concerted effort of organized and impactful giving.

The Women in Philanthropy Endowed Fund was established with funds raised above and beyond the annual fundraising goal of the Women in Philanthropy initiative. At inception of the program, the annual goal was $100,000, and donors exceeded the goal in its first two years. This fund is designated to support priorities of the President of the University, to serve its mission and uplift its students.

To make a tax-deductible gift to this fund, please visit UA’s . Select “A different designation” from the drop-down menu and enter “Women in Philanthropy” in the text box. Thank you!
