UCA Foundation, Inc.

The UCA Foundation, Inc. is a private corporation non-profit existing solely to benefit the University. Foundation funds come from the UCA phonathon, direct mail and personal contact with donors. The forerunner to the foundation, the UCA Endowment and Trust Fund, was created in 1977 as a public charity. In 1981, it became the UCA Foundation, Inc., a non‑profit corporation classified as a public charity.

Scholarships

The UCA Foundation privately-funded scholarship program provides scholarship opportunities for current and future students at the University of Central Arkansas.  Scholarships and awards are made possible by gifts from private and corporate donors.  Scholarship award amounts vary considerably in dollar value and criteria, and honor the wishes of the scholarship donor.

The 2023-2024 UCA Foundation Scholarship application will be open November 1, 2022 through January 23, 2023.

Faculty Grants

Each semester, the Foundation awards faculty grants for programs that enhance learning opportunities at UCA. These grants (max award $3,000) are intended to encourage creative programs that may serve as “seeds” for future programs and provide for deserving programs and activities.
