Arkansas Community Foundation scholarships are now available for eligible Arkansas students pursuing higher education across the state.
The Foundation’s scholarships support students attending two- or four-year colleges and universities, vocational schools, or technical training programs. Each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria, with some designated for graduates of specific high schools or students attending certain colleges. Others are based on extracurricular involvement, leadership, intended majors, or community service.
“For nearly 50 years, Arkansas Community Foundation has worked alongside generous individuals and organizations to help students pursue higher education,” said Jessica Ford, president and CEO of Arkansas Community Foundation. “Our donors make these scholarships possible by shaping each opportunity, and we’re honored to steward the application and awarding process.”
Statewide scholarships include opportunities in journalism, nursing, agriculture, transportation, healthcare leadership, public service, and the poultry industry, among others.
Students can use the Foundation’s online scholarship portal, which includes a quiz to help determine eligibility. Deadlines vary by scholarship.
