The Academic Challenge Scholarship is the state's largest merit aid program, funded by Arkansas Scholarship Lottery proceeds. Awards run up to $5,000 per year for four-year students. Returning adult students can qualify under the nontraditional path, which uses recent academic performance rather than ACT scores from years past. Apply through the YouUniversity portal.
