The WGC was created 23 years ago by the founding members of the Women and Philanthropy Committee and Campaign for the Twenty-First Century Steering Committee.

Projects funded by WGC grants have impacted all 75 counties in Arkansas.

The WGC has funded 162 grant projects to support scholarship, research and service since its creation in 2002.

Arkansas spans 670 diagonal miles, a reminder that U of A graduates will make an impact across the entire state after graduation.

In 1953, the Arkansas General Assembly adopted “The Land of Opportunity” as the state’s nickname, looking towards a brighter future as our students can with this scholarship.
