Scholarship Review Committee

Appointed by the Provost

The Scholarship Review Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending policies and guidelines for the administration, coordination and awarding of scholarships and serving as an appellate board for individual petitions for variances. The committee is also responsible for monitoring scholarship awards from private sources to assure that such scholarship awards are awarded in a timely and appropriate manner and, when appropriate, for making recommendations for scholarship awards from private sources when those awards have been designated for unrestricted scholarships and/or for awards that could be made by more than one department or college.

Membership consists of one faculty representative from each of the undergraduate colleges or schools; one representative each from the Division of Student Affairs, the Division of University Advancement, Financial Aid, and the Academic Scholarship Office; the director of admissions; one non-voting representative from the University of Arkansas Foundation; and, ex officio, the dean of the Honors College. Division or office representatives will be nominated by the unit's director and appointed by the provost in consultation with the dean of the Honors College.

A vice-chairperson will be elected by the members each fall and will serve as chairperson elect. Each year the vice-chairperson from the previous year will become chairperson.
