Scholarship Information
The UA Foundation offers multiple scholarships exclusively for UA seniors.
Scholarship for Alumni Success (SAS)
The Scholarship for Alumni Success through University Academy Foundation is funded by John Isenberg and Tom Isenberg. The brothers were fortunate to have the opportunity to attend college and pursue careers in business. They believe strongly in education and this is their way of “paying it forward.” It is their hope that the recipients will be successful and at some point “pay it forward” to others, whether it be their own children or someone else.
