Three U of A students — Jonathan Brye, Jacqueline Steinauer and Braden Wise — have received Joe M. Steele & Hardy W. Croxton Memorial Scholarships for fall 2021.

Steinauer of Fayetteville is pursuing a degree in biological engineering. Braden Wise of Greenland is focused on a degree in civil engineering. Jonathan Brye of Farmington is majoring in environmental, soil and water science.

Beaver Water District Board Members donate board meeting attendance fees to the scholarship fund. These scholarships provide financial assistance to upperclass or graduate students in the Departments of Civil Engineering, Biological and Agricultural Engineering, or the program in Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences who have demonstrated interest in drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, environmental or life sciences.

The fund is managed by the University of Arkansas Foundation. Donations may be made payable to the University of Arkansas Foundation Inc. — with Joe M. Steele & Hardy W. Croxton Memorial Scholarship in the memo line — and mailed to University of Arkansas, ATTN: Gift Services, 1125 West Maple St., Suite 210, 1 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR 72701.
