ASG alumni and the current ASG President review the applications submitted.
ASG’s Meal Donation Program
At the end of each semester, ASG partners with Chartwells and encourages students to donate a meal by giving $5 cash or FLEX to University of Arkansas community members in need. These funds are then converted to meal vouchers by Chartwell’s, and are distributed to students in need via the Division of Student Affairs.
