Six Million Dollar Web Page Six: Student Scholarships for Colleges and Universities

As part of my work at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), I host and mentor a number of teams of Information Technology majors and minors from our local four-year university, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). 

I usually host or help host one or two IT minor teams each semester and one or two Information Science major teams for an academic year.  This provides me a great opportunity to see what skills today’s students are bringing to the table.  I learn a lot from my college teams.  I learn things about new technologies and about what today’s college student is involved in.  I get a chance to help them build their knowledge about websites, programming, marketing, team dynamics and team communications. 

As part of the partnership between UAMS and UALR, I am currently the Chairperson for the Information Science Advisory Council for the UALR CyberCollege.  Through these associations, I realize that there will always be a need for student scholarship funding.  Our sixth area provides a 50-50 split of funding to help fund student scholarships.  As in the other direct aid areas, we ask that students or potential students submit application for assistance.  Students are asked to describe their academic goals, plans for after college, how they are currently funding college and what current financial assistance they receive from sources outside the family.
