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.

Gorazde International Student Fund

The Gorazde International Student Fund was established in 1997 in memory of every innocent child and young person who lost their lives in the ethnic conflict in the Canton of Gorazde, Bosnia, between 1992 and 1995. The purpose of the scholarship award is 1) to encourage Eastern European students at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to pursue degree studies that include an emphasis on the prevention, management and creative use of conflict and strategies to resolve disputes, and 2) to reward continuing students who demonstrate an interest in conflict resolution.

All Eastern European students will be considered for scholarship support. However, preference will be given to students who demonstrate the following: (1) a commitment to returning to their home country and using knowledge gained during their studies for the development of their country, and (2) the potential for sharing this knowledge to a wide audience upon returning to their native land.

In addition to other course work, the recipient is encouraged to pursue certification from the Center for Conflict Management at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The award is open to members of all ethnic groups living in Eastern Europe. Selection of award recipients is to be made by the Office of Student Financial Aid in accordance with the above description and in consultation with the scholarship committee including representatives from the International Programs department.
