The purpose of the Arkansas Tech University Foundation is to "promote the welfare and future development of Arkansas Tech University." In fulfilling that mission, the ATU Foundation, receives private gifts made through various giving programs and then administers those funds to benefit the students and departments of Arkansas Tech University.
Through the ATU Foundation there exist over 250 scholarship accounts set up by private donors. Gifts from our generous donors have enabled students to study abroad and compete in several national-level competitions. On a departmental level, private gifts have been used to upgrade labs, obtain reference materials, purchase art supplies, update computers and software, and so much more.
The ATU Foundation and Advancement Operations are responsible for coordinating these giving efforts. For more information contact Jason Geiken, Vice President for Advancement and Executive Vice President for ATU Foundation, at 479-964-0400.
