The Division of Student Affairs has many scholarships for students attending the University of Arkansas, and those scholarships are now open for students to apply.

Student Affairs awards dozens of scholarships to students for many different reasons every year. While these scholarships require good academic standing, a high GPA is not required to apply or be awarded. Many of these scholarships recognize leadership, student involvement and community service experiences at the U of A. 

"I encourage all students to check out the scholarships available from the Division of Student Affairs. We have a wide variety of scholarships to support you and your educational endeavors," said Jeremy Battjes, vice chancellor for Student Affairs.  

The division is using the same scholarship platform that the majority of campus uses - Academic Works. Students should start on the Student Affairs scholarship page, which informs them about the different scholarships, how to apply for them and then leads them to the applications on Academic Works.

"I strongly encourage all students to take advantage of the incredible opportunity to apply for one of our many scholarships," said Loria Oliver, director of development for Student Affairs. "This is also a wonderful chance for friends and alumni of the university to support these students by making a meaningful donation. Our scholarship program continues to create transformational change in the lives of our students, helping them achieve their academic goals."

Most of the current scholarship applications close on Feb. 15. Students who apply for a Student Affairs scholarship now will be notified of their award status at the end of spring semester. All current scholarships will be awarded for fall 2024, with a couple exceptions as noted on the scholarship applications.
