Onboarding Continues for the AWARDED Scholarship Management System

October 3, 2025

The transition to AWARDED took place on Oct. 1 and represents a significant advancement in how UA manages scholarships and brings greater efficiency, transparency and equity to the process.

The UA Scholarship Process Improvement team extends sincere appreciation to all university staff and faculty who recently joined the Town Hall meetings. Your presence, thoughtful engagement and commitment to student success are deeply valued.  

The Town Halls, held at each university, introduced the new scholarship management system and discussed the impact of the updated UA Foundation Scholarship Management Policy.
