FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The J. William Fulbright College of
Arts and Sciences at the University of Arkansas is accepting scholarship
applications for the 2013-14 academic year. Scholarship applications and
descriptions are available on the college’s website.
The college manages the application process for the J.W.
and Elizabeth W. Fulbright Endowed Scholarship for Study Abroad as well as several
general college scholarships.
“Fulbright College offers many opportunities for both
need-based and merit-based funding,” said Robin Roberts, dean of the college.
“We hope students will go to our website to find the scholarships that best
suit their needs and interests.”
Applicants for general college scholarships must apply
online using the scholarship application form. The application
process will close at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 15, when the online application

for which they are eligible and applications will be evaluated.
Applications for the Fulbright Scholarship for Study
Abroad may be downloaded from the scholarship page.
The form and all materials must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday,
Feb. 1. They may be submitted to the Dean’s Office in room 525 of Old Main or
mailed to the address provided on the application.
Other scholarships include those offered by individual
academic departments, programs and centers as well as the Fulbright Honors
Program. These may also be found via links on the college’s scholarships and
fellowships page. Various awards are described, including contact
information for additional details.
The applicant selected for the Fulbright Scholarship for
Study Abroad will be notified in March, and applicants selected for the general
college scholarships will be contacted in April. The Dean’s Office Scholarship
Committee, comprised of the college’s associate deans, will make the final selections.
