The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) announced a $1 million gift provided to the university from the estate of Hildegard Karlin. The multilevel gift establishes a new endowment, “The Dr. Arthur and Hildegard Karlin Scholarship Fund,” in Accounting, Taxation, and Faculty Research.
The gift, which is part of a broader bequest from donors Dr. Arthur and Hildegard Karlin to various charities and recipients, focuses on providing educational and research support to expand opportunities for UAPB students and faculty, and strengthening learning experiences in accounting fields of study.
Included in the broader intent of the gift is funding that supports faculty and student travel, individual research, and expanded student learning activities.
“The extraordinary generosity of the late Dr. Arthur and Hildegard Karlin reflects a deep and lasting belief in the transformative power of education,” said UAPB Interim Chancellor Dr. Andrea Stewart. “This $1 million gift will not only open doors for our students and faculty, but it also affirms the legacy and excellence of UAPB as one of Arkansas’ premier HBCUs.”
