UAM Unveils New Marketing and Student Communication Campaign During Board of Visitors Meeting
April 20th, 2022 by
The University of Arkansas at Monticello (UAM) Board of Visitors convened for their annual meeting on April 14. During the meeting, Jeff Weaver, vice chancellor for advancement and chief of staff at UAM, unveiled several components of the university’s current marketing and student communication campaign.
In March, Dr. Peggy Doss, chancellor of UAM, mailed a welcome letter to all recently admitted Fall 2022 students. The letter highlighted the university’s efforts to connect prospective students with every financial resource available. UAM superscores the ACT and will now accept ACCUPLACER scores, as well. In 2021, UAM distributed over $17 million in need-based aid and 96% of first-year students received some form of financial aid. The university offers institutional scholarships up to $12,000 per year and annually awards an average of 1400 private scholarships.
Throughout the meeting, Weaver outlined several additional efforts included in the campaign.
UAM is offering all Fall 2022 new first-time freshmen and new transfer students a $500 scholarship if they pre-register for classes on April 18, 19 or 20 and attend UAM during the Fall 2022 semester. Weaver noted that terms and conditions may apply. Students can click here to reserve a time to pre-register.
