The Arkansas Academic Challenge Program provides scholarships to students pursuing higher education. The scholarship is available to students regardless of their academic status, whether just graduating from high school, currently enrolled in college, enrolling in college for the first time, or re-enrolling after a period of time out of college. Traditional students must have an ACT composite score or superscore of at least a 19 (or an equivalent of a 19 composite on an equivalent test). Non-traditional students with some or no college credit can qualify if they have some college credit and have a cumulative college GPA of at least 2.5. A student with no college credit can qualify as Non-Traditional if they have an ACT composite score or superscore of at least 19 (or an equivalent of a 19 composite on an equivalent test). Those that graduate from undergrad early have the option to use the remaining semesters for graduate school. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Arkansas Department of Higher Education for more information.
