Application deadline nears for ASU-Beebe private scholarships

BEEBE — As the end of the school year approaches and many high school seniors set their sights on college for the fall, Arkansas State University-Beebe officials remind students and parents of the deadline to apply for several of the ASU-Beebe privately funded scholarships. The application deadline for the 2021-22 academic year is 5 p.m. June 15.

Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and organizations, ASU-Beebe offers numerous private scholarships. Often, these scholarships or endowments are established to honor a family member, classmate, mentor, friend or faculty member.

“We are excited that the number of scholarships continues to grow, as well as the number of students we can serve,” said Andrea Cole, ASUBeebe development officer/ major gifts.

New and returning students are encouraged to apply for a variety of privately funded scholarships administered by the ASU-Beebe Office of Institutional Advancement.

Scholarships require evidence of scholastic achievement and/or outstanding ability in the area of the award. Scholarships vary in amounts and duration, with some being campus specific among the four ASU-Beebe campuses in Beebe, Heber Springs and Searcy, and at the Little Rock Air Force Base.

In order to be considered for privately funded scholarships, students are encouraged to apply each year during the spring semester. Students will then be notified by email or mail if they are selected for one of the scholarships.

Scholarship applicants may apply online at www.giveasub.com/scholarship application. To request an application form, contact the Institutional Advancement Office at (501) 882-8855.

The application and other supporting documents may be mailed to ASU-Beebe Institutional Advancement, Attn: Development Office, P.O. Box 1000, Beebe, AR 72012.
