Student Philanthropy is a tradition at Arkansas Tech University that began with the Senior Class Gift Campaign and now includes giving from students at every level. The Student Philanthropy Council works to educate students about the importance of giving back. The campus and the community have been made better by those who came before and made gifts to the Arkansas Tech Foundation. As we continue to build for the future by building on the foundations of the past, students who wish to give become members of our GOLD Society and take part in a standing tradition that will benefit ATU students for years to come.
Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to Arkansas Tech University may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

Scholarships are critical to ATU students. Last year, over $500,000 in foundation scholarships were awarded. Scholarship giving is as varied as our students’ interests and as broad as our donors’ visions. All Arkansas Tech scholarships foster dreams and create life-changing opportunities that transform futures. Named Scholarships honor friends and family, foster development by college or major, or build capacity in areas of high need or interest. Department and Major Field Scholarships strengthen a particular academic discipline or program at ATU.
