Another successful Discover UALR concluded on Oct. 24, providing the opportunity for hundreds of students to preview the university and compete for scholarships.

More than 700 hundred of the participants snapped pictures and took videos as they toured the campus and posted them to Instagram using the #discoverUALR hashtag in pursuit of a little extra scholarship funding.

Rebecca Aguilera of Maumelle captured the Best Overall Picture award and won a $1,000 scholarship to UALR. She and her friend used their bodies to spell out U-A-L-R in front of the iconic Cooper Fountain.

Other winners included:

• Navan Camlin, Most Creative Award
• Tristan Stevens, Most Trojan Spirit
• Shea Young, Best Selfie
• Michael Vick, Best Use of a Prop
• Cameron Herget, Best Video

UALR application fees were also waived for high school seniors who completed an application at the event.

Along with campus tours, Discover UALR included a chance to speak with representatives across several colleges and academic disciplines.
