The Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts received a $10,000 continuing grant from the United Way of the Ouachitas and the Oaklawn Foundation Student Wellness Fund on Monday.
The grant supports a variety of residential programs related to mental and physical health on campus. Mandy Spraggins, outreach and marketing director for the United Way of the Ouachitas, presented a check for the grant to Ashley Bennett, ASMSA director of institutional advancement, and ASMSA Director Corey Alderdice.
“United Way of the Ouachitas’ gift makes a substantial difference in the quality of care we are able to provide for our residential students,” Bennett said. “With United Way’s continued support of the Oaklawn Foundation Student Wellness Fund at ASMSA, we are able to provide students with CPR training, food vouchers, necessary supplies for our school nurse and much more. We are so thankful for their partnership with ASMSA.”
