The Arkansas Alumni Association is ensuring more University of Arkansas students receive scholarship money through a new need-based scholarship fund.
The fund was endowed with a generous contribution from Ginger Graham, CEO and president of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, who serves on the Alumni Association’s National Board of Directors. Upon learning about the need-based scholarship fund, she quickly responded with the gift to encourage others to join and donate to the program.
Most of the scholarship money, however, is raised through Association memberships. With each annual “Pride” membership renewal, $5 goes toward the need-based scholarship fund. From the newly created three-year “Passion” memberships, $15 is put toward need-based scholarships. It’s just one more reason your membership in the Arkansas Alumni Association is so important.
