Academic Challenge Scholarships Program

    The Academic Challenge Scholarships Program was established in 2010 for any Arkansas resident who graduates from an Arkansas high school. The award covers anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 of tuition at in-state college/university or technical program on a first dollar basis. High school graduates, students currently enrolled, or re-enrolling into college who meet merit requirements are eligible. The program is primarily funded by the Arkansas State Lottery.
