The University of Arkansas has recently experienced the greatest enrollment increase
in decades. Concurrently, the Arkansas Department of Higher Education calculated a
gap of $30 million between what the state gives to the University and what is required
to meet our student needs. Private gift support from our alumni and friends will help
us bridge this gap and accomplish our goals.
For nearly a century, the Walton College has excelled because of benefactors like
you.
Thanks to the generosity of the Walton Family Charitable Support Foundation and all
the generous donors before and after its gift, the endowed chairs, professorships,
student scholarships and new programs we offer have positioned us competitively on
the national stage.
The Walton College was also propelled into the rankings as a top 25 undergraduate
business school. Today the Walton College aspires to be a top 20 business school.
