College Club of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Scholarship
On September 23, 1911, forty women hosted an afternoon tea, inviting all ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ women who had attended a college or university. his gathering marked the informal beginning of the College Club of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The club was formally organized in 1916 when its members filed Articles of Incorporation with the state, proclaiming the club's purpose to be "promoting the interests of the college-bred women of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and vicinity and to arouse an interest in college work."
In 1922, College Club established The College Club of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Scholarship at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to support local women in earning a baccalaureate degree from UA. The scholarship was endowed in 1999, and College Club has continued to raise funds for it since. In 2024, the endowed scholarship benefited from the generosity of Miss Carolyn Affleck, a dedicated supporter of the scholarship fund. That same year, the scholarship also underwent a revision.
