LITTLE ROCK — Scholarships are now available for eligible Arkansas students through Arkansas Community Foundation.
The Community Foundation’s scholarships are for Arkansas students pursuing education at two- or four-year colleges or universities, vocational schools or technical training programs. Each scholarship has its own eligibility criteria. Some scholarships are designated for graduates of a particular high school or those who plan to attend a particular college. Others are based on extracurricular activities or intended college majors.
The Foundation has a scholarship portal with a quiz to help applicants determine scholarship eligibility.
“Since 1976, the Community Foundation has partnered with individuals and organizations who want to support our state’s students in their pursuit of higher education,” said Heather Larkin, Community Foundation president and CEO. “These generous people provide the funding and determine the size and eligibility criteria of each scholarship, while we oversee the application and awarding process on their behalf.”
Hundreds of scholarships can be found on the Foundation’s scholarship portal. For scholarships awarded specifically for a certain school, community or interest-area, applicants should contact their local Community Foundation affiliate office or speak with their school counselor. A list of Foundation affiliate offices can be found at www.arcf.org/affiliates.
