Kirk and Nancy St. John Pond of Cape Elizabeth, Maine, are contributing $50,000 to the College of Engineering to establish the Pond Family Access Arkansas Scholarship in Engineering. The gift will benefit the department of electrical engineering and be matched with an additional $16,667 from the Pat and Willard Walker Charitable Foundation’s Need- Based Scholarship Challenge. Access Arkansas provides needbased scholarship support, particularly for undergraduates. It was launched in 2007. In 2009, the Pat and Willard Walker Foundation created a onethird matching gift for every dollar committed starting at $50,000.
