Seniors should have at least a 2.0 grade point average and plan on attending the UA in the fall semester in order to receive the scholarship, Sharp said. The student also must be a child of a full-time UA employee. Employees who have experienced the loss of a child can have their child's name put on the scholarship plaque that will be put on permanent display in the lobby of the Physical Plant office. It is not necessary for them to contribute to the scholarship to have their children's name engraved on the plaque. Applications are ready for interested students to pick up at the Physical Plant office located on Razorback Road.
Students can also pick up an application from their high school guidance counselors.
The applications should be submitted to the Physical Plant Children's Memorial Scholarship. No deadline for submissions has been set yet, Sharp said. Committee members said they hope to award at least one scholarship each year. Contributions to the scholarship fund can be made by direct contribution or by automatic deposit. Anyone interested in contributing should contact Mike Bidwell at 575.7717, Dawn Hefley at 575.3926 or Kelly Sharp at 575.6165.
