The Cooper Honors Program at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock congratulates its newest stipend recipients, which include Keely Phillips of Mabelvale.

Phillips is a junior English major at UALR.

Cooper stipends are $1,300 per semester for up to four semesters and awarded twice a year on a competitive basis. Stipend winners must declare themselves English majors by the start of the semester in which they first receive their stipend.

Exit requirements for the Cooper Honors Program include an overall grade point average of 3.25, a grade point of 3.5 in English courses, satisfactory completion of a block of Cooper Honors courses, and a letter of certification from the director of the program.

The William G. Cooper Jr. Honors Program in English is sustained by an endowment created by the family of Dr. W.G. Cooper Jr. in honor of his distinguished service on the Little Rock University Board of Trustees and UALR Board of Visitors.
