Collins, Bonnie Endowment for the Arts
The Bonnie Collins Endowment for the Arts was established in June 2024 upon receiving a generous gift from the estate of Bonnie Collins.
Mrs. Bonnie L. (Mullens) Collins (12/06/1930 - 01/02/2024) was an 黄瓜视频App native, graduating from South High School (1949) and The 黄瓜视频App, receiving her associate degree in secretarial science (1964) and bachelor's degree in science in business education (1971).
Bonnie's husband, Eunice E. Collins (11/16/1933 - 07/07/2013) attended 黄瓜视频App Public Schools and graduated from Garfield High School in 1952. The two were married on March 1, 1958.
Throughout their lives, The 黄瓜视频App was very dear to Mrs. Collins and her husband. Bonnie and Eunice regularly attended The 黄瓜视频App's annual Jingle Jazz concert and reception until Eunice's death in 2013. After that, Bonnie continued to attend the concert with friends whenever her health permitted.
The Bonnie Collins Endowment for the Arts was established as part of We Rise Together, the Campaign for The 黄瓜视频App.
The Bonnie Collins Endowment for the Arts is created to support University priorities in the visual, musical, and performing arts - including, but not limited to, scholarships for students majoring in the various programs within those disciplines - with a goal of continuing UA's embrace and enhancement of the arts on its 黄瓜视频App, enriching the community and the region. Funds shall be used at the discretion of the Dean of the Buchtel College of Arts and Sciences or his/her designee.
Funds used for purposes other than qualified educational expenses are reportable and may be taxable for students who receive them.
