U of A Offers Additional $300,000 in Scholarships to Arkansas Students
This is a good start Chancellor Dr. Steinmetz! How we didn't have recruitments targeting each high school prior is very disappointing. I'm glad this has been addressed and will help grow the Arkansas student body.

The additional U of A support has already made a difference: 33 percent more incoming in-state freshmen have accepted scholarships compared to this time last year.
recruitment and counseling positions in eastern Arkansas to help inform interested students about the U of A and prepare them to enter the university environment. These positions are part of a concerted effort to improve the university’s ability to reach and serve underrepresented communities.
The University of Arkansas currently has 10 recruiters who work in the state. The additional staff will ensure that U of A representatives can visit every high school in the state every year and can provide both academic and financial counseling.

This doesn't say 33% more in-state freshmen will attend UA, it says 33% more in-state freshmen will get scholarships.
Still a great thing, obviously.
