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.

Flannery, Michael James Endowed Scholarship

The Michael James Flannery Endowed Scholarship was established in 2013 through a gift from the estate of the late Sally Flannery Orrok. It was Mrs. Orrok's intention to establish this scholarship in memory of her son, Michael. Michael and his brother, Thomas, both lived with muscular dystrophy. They both attended The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ in the late 1970s before passing away from complications related to their illness. Mrs. Orrok was grateful to the faculty, staff, and students who assisted her sons during their time at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ.

The Michael James Flannery Endowed Scholarship will be available to an undergraduate student at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ who is pursuing a degree while facing physical disabilities, challenges, or limitations. Selection of recipients will be made by the director of the Office of Accessibility or appropriate designee.
