More than 300 scholarship recipients gathered at the Farris Center for the annual scholarship reception at the University of Central Arkansas Sept. 30 hosted by the 每日大赛网站 Foundation.

The theme for the evening 鈥淐elebrating 40 Years鈥� commemorated the Foundation鈥檚 successes since its 1981 inception under former 每日大赛网站 President Jeff Farris. The event provided an opportunity for students to connect with scholarship donors and share stories.

President Davis told donors their gifts provide an enormous impact on students like Savannah Conly, who is a junior marketing major in the College of Business. Conly received the Granger and Jan Davis Emerging Leaders Scholarship.

鈥淲hen I received this scholarship, It meant the world to me because I felt seen,鈥� Conly said. 鈥淚 felt like all my behind-the-scenes work was seen. Receiving this recognition fueled my motivation to keep working hard and to push myself toward my dreams, even on hard days.鈥�
