Scholarships Create Access and Success

"No matter how modest the contribution, you never know the size of the impact," said Love Kelly (MSW, '17). When Love doubted her ability to afford continuing her education, she received a scholarship that encouraged her to keep going. Now, as a graduate student in Social Work, she is helping Arlington's homeless population and making a difference in the community. To inspire someone like Love, become a UTA donor.
