Donaghey Scholars Program
Scholarship Sponsored by University of Arkansas at Little Rock
Priority application deadline: January 15. Applications are accepted through February 15.
Overview
The Donaghey Scholars Honors Program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a campus-wide honors community open to students in any major. It combines a generous financial award, an interdisciplinary core curriculum, study abroad support, and a close-knit scholarly environment to give motivated undergraduates a distinctive and challenging college experience.
What the program emphasizes
- An interdisciplinary core that replaces the standard university core courses and focuses on reading primary texts, careful writing, and thoughtful discussion.
- Critical thinking skills that transfer across majors and careers—skills that help whether you go on to graduate school or into the workforce.
- Small cohort learning: only 20–25 students are admitted each year, which encourages strong relationships among students, faculty, and staff.
Outcomes
Donaghey Scholars leave the program well prepared for the next step—many have won competitive national awards and gained admission to prestigious graduate programs. The program’s intimate size and comprehensive curriculum foster both intellectual and personal growth.
Financial package (estimated total value $75,000–$95,000)

- Annual stipend (varies by qualifications: $6,000, $8,000, or $10,000)

If you’re considering applying, mark your calendar for the January 15 priority deadline (final deadline February 15) and prepare materials that highlight your curiosity, writing ability, and readiness for an interdisciplinary classroom.
