Applications are now being accepted for the 1909 Scholarship at Arkansas State University.
The 1909 Society Scholarship is an annual award given to an undergraduate who is active in campus leadership. The award is $1,000 annually, paid $500 per semester, contingent on available funds and fulfillment of volunteer hours.

If applicable, the recipient may re-apply the following year.
This scholarship is provided by young alumni donors who join the 1909 Society, and is administered through the ASU Office of Alumni Relations. The selection committee is composed of 1909 Society members.
Students may nominate themselves or be nominated by a representative of a campus organization or an ASU faculty or staff member.
