Governor's Scholars Program - Achievement Scholars

This scholarship program supports graduating high school seniors in Arkansas who have demonstrated academic excellence. It is awarded to students graduating with a Diploma of Distinction, those who have managed to complete an Associate degree during high school, or top-performing applicants in counties where no Governor's Distinguished Scholar was selected. Applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to establish eligibility, though an exception is made for non-U.S. citizens with an Employment Authorization Document. The award helps cover tuition, mandatory institutional fees, and room and board costs for undergraduate studies over multiple years.
