McMath Challenge Gift


Want to open the door to education a little wider in Arkansas?

 Honors College Dean Emeritus Bob McMath and his wife Linda have made a $100,000 commitment to expand access to higher education in Arkansas.

The McMaths have pledged $50,000 to endow a scholarship for students enrolled in the Path Program, a new Honors College initiative that helps talented high school students from underrepresented populations succeed on campus. They are challenging others to participate, with a goal of matching the initial $50,000 gift by 2017.

Bob and Linda McMath have also pledged an estate gift of $50,000 to support Path Scholarships.

The McMaths also hope that their challenge gift will inspire honors students and alumni to "pay it forward" by giving, at whatever level they can afford, to expand access to the University of Arkansas Honors College.
