Local Alumni Chapter Awards Scholarships to UAPB Students and Honors Community Leaders – UAPB News
Eight University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) students were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the Pine Bluff/Jefferson County UAPB/AM&N Alumni Chapter. The presentations took place in September during an elegant Scholarship Gala held at the Pine Bluff Convention Center in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
