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.

Bernstein, Martha Endowed Scholarship

In gratitude and appreciation for her encouragement and helpfulness during an unstinting two years of service as a reader, Charles Walker, blind ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ insurance agent with undergraduate (1979) and graduate (1980) degrees from The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, established The Martha Bernstein Endowed Scholarship in 1981 in honor of Martha Bernstein, also of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, who graduated from the University with honors in 1979. The endowed fund, when activated in 1990, will provide $400 annually for an undergraduate female student majoring in English with a 3.25 GPA or better and who is, or is planning to be, a voluntary assistant to a handicapped college student.
