The University of
Arkansas offers a number of scholarships to international undergraduate
students. These scholarships are highly competitive and consideration is
available only for students planning to enter in Fall terms. Scholarship
consideration is not available for those students planning to enter in a Spring
term.
The deadline to
apply for scholarships is February 1, but applying early is critical in
order to have maximum consideration. It is important to submit your
application for admission to the University, all supporting documents and
official test scores (especially SAT or ACT) far in advance of the scholarship
deadline. You must apply separately for scholarships by going to the Office
of Scholarships website at http://scholarships.uark.edu/.
International
students are eligible to apply for the following scholarships:
- Chancellor's Scholarship
- Silas Hunt Scholarship
- University Scholarship
- John and Marie Lavallard Scholarship
- Jack Kent Cooke Transfer Scholarship
- Alumni Scholarships (apply through the Alumni Association)
- The Leo S. Rowe Pan American Fund - The Rowe Fund awards educational loans to qualified persons from Latin American and Caribbean countries.
- Additional Scholarship Opportunities
- Funding Opportunities for Study in the U.S. for Students From Europe and Eurasia
- Selected Funding Sources Open to Non-US Citizens
Scholarship
applications are not held until February 1 to be reviewed all at the same time;
rather, scholarships are awarded at periodic intervals to qualifying candidates
upon review and approval by the Scholarship Committee. Therefore, not all
qualifying students who apply by February 1 may be awarded a scholarship if
funding runs out. If you are an outstanding student with high test scores
and excellent grades, we encourage you to apply early for admission and
scholarships.
Currently
enrolled undergraduate students can apply for the Foundation for theInternational Exchange of Students (FIES) Scholarship. Criteria for selection include academic
performance at the UofA, participation in campus and/or community service
activities, and financial need.
