Bowie County residents eligible for U of A Transfer Achievement Scholarship

HOPE/TEXARKANA, Ark. (KTAL/KMSS) – The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville (UAF) is now offering the Arkansas Transfer Achievement Scholarship to residents of Bowie County, Texas.

According to a press release, the scholarship “reduces the tuition rate for University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana (UAHT) graduates who transfer to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. With this scholarship, graduates with Associate of Arts or Science degrees will pay the UAHT in-district tuition rate instead of the UA Fayetteville campus’s full rate, resulting in significant savings on their path to gaining a bachelor’s degree.”

Students can apply the scholarship to their base tuition for up to 10 semesters, and it is only available to those transferring to UA’s Fayetteville campus. Eligibility requirements include:

• Arkansas or Bowie County, Texas, resident
• Earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Arts in Teaching degree from UAHT
• Degree conferment in the regular term (excluding summer) immediately preceding transfer to UAF
• Cumulative 2.0 grade point average
• Meet all other U of A admission criteria and program requirements
• Enroll in an on-campus undergraduate degree program, full or part-time
• Renewable with the maintenance of good academic standing (2.00 cumulative GPA after each semester) or the first bachelor’s degree (whichever comes first)
