Physical Plant 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 building.

This scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior entering the University of Arkansas as a freshman during the fall semester.
