MISSION
The UA Little Rock Foundation collaborates with business and community leaders and alumni nationwide with one purpose: ignite possibilities for both current and future students.

The Foundation has raised $178 million from 23,000 individual donors and is boosting student scholarships, empowering faculty to redefine higher education, supercharging classroom technology and nurturing a campus community that breeds excellence.
Through unwavering collaboration with industry partners, including internships and robust curriculum support, the Foundation is creating opportunities for students. The impact?
