The University of Texas at Arlington has received more than $1.5 million in support of scholarships for talented and deserving students. Alumnus Edward Perez Jr.’s gift will create two endowed scholarships—one for students in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation and another for students in the College of Science. Both scholarships will be named the Edward and Dorothy Perez Scholarship Fund in honor of Perez and his late wife, Dorothy. The funds were granted posthumously through a bequest that named UTA as the sole beneficiary of Perez's IRA account at the time of his passing in 2018.
