The purpose of the Mashburn Scholarship Foundation is to provide financial assistance in the form of college scholarships for high school graduates and full time University of Arkansas students having talent, financial need and a desire to further their education in the fields of vocal music and performing arts. Provide an opportunity for recipients to increase skills in a professional setting each year at The Barbara Mashburn Scholarship Program through The Mashburn Scholarship Foundation. Increase public awareness of the importance of philanthropy to the future of education in Arkansas.
