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.

Eisenzimmer, Joseph W. and Marie F. Scholarship

The Joseph W. and Marie F. Eisenzimmer Scholarship honors the memory of Mr. Eisenzimmer's sister, Mary (Eisenzimmer) Mead, and their childhood growing up in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. The University's proximity and reasonable costs enabled Mr. Eisenzimmer to pursue a college education. A World War II veteran, Mr. Eisenzimmer graduated from the University in 1947 with a major in political science and many fond memories of his membership in Pi Kappa Epsilon (Lone Star) fraternity. Although he and his wife reside in Chicago, where they established a successful business, their interest in education and the University remains constant.

The Joseph W. and Marie F. Eisenzimmer Scholarship supports students from the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ region who require financial assistance to complete their degree at The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. Mr. and Mrs. Eisenzimmer are sympathetic to students who must work one, two, and sometimes even three jobs to fund their college career and, therefore, wish to support students who are hardworking, dedicated, and ambitious.

The University is fortunate to have the support of Mr. and Mrs. Eisenzimmer and pleased to be able to establish a legacy in their name to pass on to future generations.
