About

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 provides a privately-funded scholarship program that offers additional educational opportunities to UCA students. Scholarships and awards made possible by private gifts for students attending the University of Central Arkansas vary considerably in dollar value and criteria, reflecting the donor’s gift and interests. 

The Spring 2020 UCA Foundation scholarship application is now closed. The scholarship application deadline for the 2020-2021 academic year was March 13, 2020.

Faculty Grants

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