All additional information requested by the Financial Aid Office must be submitted by December 1, in order to meet the aid application requirements for second semester renewal.

After you've applied

Once awarded, all scholarship recipients must be admitted to the Russellville campus and enrolled in a minimum of fifteen hours. Additionally, a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and either housing charges OR an exemption to the housing policy must be on file before a scholarship will be credited to a student's account.

Scholarship Renewal

Tech Transfer, Phi Theta Kappa, Presidential Honors, Arkansas Academic All-Star, and Transitions Scholarships are renewable for five consecutive semesters after the first or until the completion of an undergraduate degree, whichever comes first, provided the student maintains all scholarship renewal requirements.
