Dear Friends,

Students who attend University of the Ozarks have the opportunity to EXPLORE. Our goal is to transform lives, helping students find their passion and excel wherever they go. Providing scholarships is a major step in achieving success for students and ultimately progressing our world.

Alumni and friends have been very generous over the years by establishing privately funded endowments that will benefit students’ lives forever. During the 2017-18 year, Ozarks awarded more than $696,377 from endowed scholarships.

I hope you take a moment to read about those who saw the need to help others, many of whom received the same type of assistance during their years of study. If you are interested in establishing an endowed scholarship, or would like to visit with us about an estate gift, please call us. Our staff will be happy to share with you information on how you can make a difference in the lives of Ozarks students. Our mission for students as they grow at Ozarks and make their journey through life, is that they will LIVE LIFE FULLY.

Warmest regard,
