Scholarship History
The ASURA Reentry Student Scholarship is administered by the ASU Scholarship Office. The ASURA Scholarship Committee reviews qualified applicants each year and notifies the Scholarship Office of the recommended recipient.
The scholarship was first established in 1995, during the presidency of Diana Regner. Regner said, "We were accumulating a sizable balance in our treasury and our board believed that we should use our money for a good cause". The Board decided to fund a scholarship, covering in-state tuition and fees for a year, and to award it to an older student who was returning to college after being in the work force. In 1997 the Board established a scholarship endowment fund at the ASU Foundation which by 2021 had grown to over $80,000.
