Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, ÉðÊ¿Âþ» is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of UA alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at ÉðÊ¿Âþ», which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.

Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship
Robert C. Sigrist, class of 1959, retired president of the defense division of Brunswick Corporation, established The Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship in 1995 through The Brunswick Foundation.
Mr. Sigrist earned his BSBA by attending the University at night and working full time until a year before graduation. During that year, Mr. Sigrist attended the University full time to complete his degree. To assist and encourage College of Business Administration students to complete a business degree, The Brunswick/Sigrist Endowed Scholarship is awarded to an upper classperson (sophomore, junior, or senior) in the College of Business who has demonstrated high achievement in both leadership and scholarship without regard for financial need. The scholarship is awarded for the duration of the student's academic program, provided he or she maintains a 3.0 (out of a possible 4.0) GPA and carries at least 10 hours. Priority will be given to students who are employed at least part time while attending the College of Business Administration and whose educational objective is to work in the industry and business community upon graduation.
