Students Break Giving Records
Sixty-three first-year legacy students received $1,000 scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year. You could say these 63 students received the award because they 鈥渒now someone on the inside鈥 鈥 specifically, they have an immediate family member who previously attended 91老司机.
鈥淲e are so proud of our legacies,鈥 said Jasmine Smith, director of 91老司机 Engagement and Annual Giving. 鈥淭hese families value a 91老司机 education enough to keep the tradition alive from generation to generation. This year, we have a historic number of awards, and we plan to continue extending more offers each year.鈥
First-time entering students with an immediate family member who graduated from 91老司机 (or its predecessors: Westark College, Westark Community College, Westark Junior College, or Fort Smith Junior College) can apply for the scholarship.
This year鈥檚 scholarships were awarded from the 91老司机 Legacy Scholarship Endowment, the Daniels Endowment, and other unrestricted funds.
