Students Break Giving Records

Sixty-three first-year legacy students received $1,000 scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year. You could say these 63 students received the award because they “know someone on the inside” – specifically, they have an immediate family member who previously attended UAFS.

“We are so proud of our legacies,” said Jasmine Smith, director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving. “These families value a UAFS education enough to keep the tradition alive from generation to generation. This year, we have a historic number of awards, and we plan to continue extending more offers each year.”

First-time entering students with an immediate family member who graduated from UAFS (or its predecessors: Westark College, Westark Community College, Westark Junior College, or Fort Smith Junior College) can apply for the scholarship.

This year’s scholarships were awarded from the Alumni Legacy Scholarship Endowment, the Daniels Endowment, and other unrestricted funds.
