University of Arkansas Chancellor's Community Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by University of Arkansas
Thank you for your interest in freshman academic scholarships at the University of Arkansas. For details on how to apply, please consult the Guide to Academic Freshman Scholarships. The Honors College also administers several endowed fellowships. All freshman scholarship awards apply only to undergraduate study. In most cases, scholarship recipients must be U.S. citizens, U.S. legal permanent residents, or international students authorized to study in the United States.
Eligibility and selection
The Office of Academic Scholarships evaluates applications using a comprehensive review. In addition to standardized test scores, high school GPA, and the required written scholarship application, the selection team may weigh other factors—such as documented financial need and family educational background—when making decisions. Applications will be reviewed for the scholarships described below; however, an individual student will not receive more than one scholarship award.
