MISSION:
The UA Little Rock Foundation collaborates with business and community leaders as well as alumni nationwide with one purpose: ignite possibilities for both current and future students.
In just two years, the UA Little Rock Foundation has already raised more than $195 million toward our $250 million Centennial Campaign goal, thanks to the generosity of 23,000 donors. This incredible support is transforming lives by significantly increasing student scholarships, empowering innovative faculty, enhancing cutting-edge classroom technology and fostering a campus culture of excellence. Our strong partnerships with industry leaders are creating a wealth of opportunities for students through internships and robust curriculum support. The result? An impressive 85% of our graduates choose to build their futures right here in central Arkansas. At the foundation, we expect more and are achieving remarkable outcomes for our students and for Arkansas.
