General Scholarships

Contributing to the general scholarship fund is one way alumni and friends can help the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff fulfill its mission to provide education opportunities to students who may not have the resources to enjoy the benefit of higher education.

During the Fall 2005-2006 semester, 300 students were unable to remain in school because of financial need. Your help is needed! Please contribute to the General Scholarship Fund!!
