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.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Polymer Student Endowed Scholarship

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Polymer Student Endowed Scholarship was established in November 2019 at the request of Dr. Ali Dhinojwala, interim dean of the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering. Dhinojwala and other College leaders recognized a growing need for “bridge” funding to assist polymer students whose grants or sponsorships end prior to their graduation. Scholarships from this endowment will enable these students to remain in school and complete their education.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ eligible for The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Polymer Student Endowed Scholarship must:

  • Be pursuing a graduate degree (full-time) in the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering
  • Be in good academic standing, with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • Have demonstrated financial need

To be considered, students and their faculty advisers must complete an application by July 1 or December 1 and return it to the Office of the Dean in the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering. Selection of the recipient(s) will be made by a scholarship committee, whose members will be selected and directed by the CPSPE dean or interim dean.

The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Polymer Student Endowed Scholarship will be awarded for one semester and may be renewed based on the student’s financial need. Scholarship amounts and dates of awards may vary depending on the availability of funds.
