The UCA chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity recently donated $3,000 to the UCA Emergency Student Loan Fund. A check was presented by Kappa Sigma Fraternity members to Gary Roberts, dean of students, at the 13th Annual UCA Unplugged Concert.
“This is the largest gift ever given to this fund,” Roberts said. “It will help many students to remain in school who might otherwise leave due to financial needs.”
The money was raised from a charity event, called ?Kappapalooza,? which is held annually by Kappa Sigma. This year the fraternity sponsored a concert on Sept. 27 featuring Lucero, a popular soft rock/country band from Memphis. Over 700 attended the event.
The $3,000 donation will be used to provide 150 emergency student loans to UCA students to cover educational expenses including books, utility payments, room and board and other related items. The loan fund is administered by UCA’s Office of Student Services.
