Windgate Scholarships
Through a grant from the Windgate Foundation, the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff has received a scholarship aimed at recruiting highly qualified students of color who have chosen to teach. The scholarship has been named, The Windgate Educator Preparation Program Academic Scholarship (WEPPAS). This scholarship is housed within the School of Education and will be awarded to students who have excelled academically and expressed a strong interest in becoming a licensed classroom teacher in Arkansas public schools. The scholarship aims to recruit a pool of eight undergraduate and five graduate students of color who will enter the EPP and will become highly capable of preparing the next generation of learners. The scholarship awards range up to $5000 per academic year for undergraduates- $2500 each academic semester for two years and $2000 for graduates – $1000 each semester for one academic year. The scholarship can be applied to tuition, fees, and books.
