FM Children's Memorial Scholarship Fund | Facilities Management

Employees of Facilities Management have established the Physical Plant Children's Memorial Scholarship to benefit dependent children of University of Arkansas employees. The scholarship was established to honor the memories of children of Facilities Management employees who have died. The children's names will appear on a plaque that is placed on permanent display in the lobby of the Facilities Management Main Office.

Scholarship Committee Chairman, Michael Bidwell, of the Facilities Management Carpentry Shop, stated that the scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior entering the University of Arkansas as a freshman during the Fall semester. High School seniors who are dependents of University employees are encouraged to apply. Application forms are available at the Facilities Management offices at 521 S. Razorback Road, or by downloading the application. Completed applications should be submitted to the Physical Plant Children's Memorial Scholarship Selection Committee.
