## About this scholarship

The Arkansas Division of Higher Education administers the Arkansas Future Grant Program, which is designed for students enrolled in associate degree or certificate programs in high-demand workforce fields. Eligible students can receive funding for up to 75 credit hours, and part-time enrollment is permitted. The renewable grant covers tuition and fees at two-year institutions, or up to $3,800 at four-year institutions. 

State financial aid regulations require federal aid to be applied before state funds are distributed, meaning applicants must complete the FAFSA to coordinate their federal and state assistance. This ensures that the total financial aid awarded does not exceed the federal cost of attendance. The program operates under a specific stacking order for state aid, where this grant is applied after other primary state scholarships but before institutional aid. For the most current application dates and deadlines, please see the official page.
