Academic Scholarship Information
All freshman academic scholarships are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority deadline to apply for Distinguished Scholars, Second Century Scholars,
Collegiate Scholars, Academic Excellence Scholars, or an Out-of-State Scholarship is February 15 of the current award year unless funds are depleted
prior to that time. Applications must be received in the Office of Admissions on or before the priority deadline. Superscores or recalculated ACT scores using subset scores from multiple exams will not be accepted.
A traditional-aged high school student who opts to take the GED and scores a minimum of 580 may apply for academic scholar awards. Students receiving scholar awards must be U.S. citizens.
All scholarship applicants must be admitted to the
University with a Federal Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) on file before a scholarship will be authorized. 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.
Main campus scholarship awards will only pay for main campus coursework and must be used the fall semester following high school graduation. Students
may receive only one Tech-funded academic scholarship in any
semester. Academic scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to
participate in early registration. Scholarship recipients must live in a residence hall or receive an exemption to the residency requirements from the Residential Life Office in accordance with established University policy. Recipients are responsible for making on-campus housing arrangements.
Students who live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas are considered in-state for
tuition purposes and are eligible to apply for in-state academic
scholarships.
Students who receive scholarship awards are responsible for knowing their renewal requirements printed on their award notification or available online.
Scholarships are awarded for consecutive fall and spring terms only and do not cover summer terms. Under Arkansas law, Act 323, other financial aid received may reduce the value of the academic award. The maximum allowance for institutional scholarships will be limited so that the total award, including Federal grants and state awarded funds, does not exceed the actual billed cost for tuition, academic fees, room and board, plus a stipend up to $700.
