The University of Arkansas Cossatot Foundation recently received a $1,500 donation from AEP Southwestern Electric Power Co., which has provided scholarships to the college since 2010.

The company chose to donate again this year to help local college students receive financial aid and support the work of the UA Cossatot Foundation.

AEP SWEPCO External Manager Jennifer Harland presented UA Cossatot Foundation Director Dustin Roberts with the donation.

"Being able to give this donation gives us the opportunity to contribute to the students at the college and allows us to help them achieve academic success," Harland said.

This donation will be administered to students who apply through the UA Cossatot scholarship application. The application is available at cccua.edu/pay-for-college/scholarships from Oct. 1 to April 1 of each year.
