Through a variety of scholarships, The Arkansas Alumni Association grants more than a million dollars in rewards each year.
The majority of scholarships offered at the Association level are merit-based and intended for new freshmen.
Additionally, there are societies and alumni groups. Every alumni scholarship has special requirements depending on the intentions of the donors, such as, but not restricted to, academic success, community service, leadership potential, first-generation college attendance, and certain major and career choices.
Some take into account personal characteristics and financial needs. Every year, we invite all enrolled students and future ones to submit an application.
Students who already have annual alumni scholarships are not needed to reapply, but they may want to fill out the application’s general and college-specific parts.
