Scholarships

Students on Campus

A large number of different types of scholarships are available to Electrical Engineering students at the University of Arkansas. Most scholarships are available to students in all departments of the university, but there are also scholarships just for Engineering students and scholarships just for Electrical Engineering students. The following are some of the more widely available university level scholarships:

  • Chancellor's Scholarship - Up to $8,000.00 and renewable for up to four years
  • Silas Hunt Scholarship - Up to $8,000.00 and renewable for up to four years (for students from under-represented communities)
  • University Scholarship - Up to $4,000.00 and renewable for up to four years
  • Honors College Academy Scholarship - Up to $4,000.00 and renewable for up to four years
  • Leadership Scholarship - Up to $2,000.00 and renewable for up to two years


These are just a few of the scholarships available. It is possible to combine more than one scholarship at the same time, but the total income from all scholarships combined will be limited to the cost of attendance. Non-resident tuition awards are available for students from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, & Oklahoma who have GPA's of at least 3.5 and ACT scores of at least 25. A non-resident tuition award waives out of state tuition.

The main University of Arkansas site for scholarship information and application is at University of Arkansas Scholarship Information.

Scholarship Application Process

The first thing to know about the scholarship application process is that it is important to begin early. A high school senior should begin preparing his application at the start of his senior year. The final university deadline for receiving an application is February 1 of the senior year in high school, but it is best to apply by November 15 for early consideration.

It is not necessary to apply separately for each scholarship. There is a single combined application form which allows a student to apply for all of the main scholarships simultaneously. Application information and a link to the on line application form can be found at Guide to Entering Freshman Scholarships.

The following scholarships are available only to Engineering students. The Electrical Engineering scholarships are available only to Electrical Engineers, or primarily to Electrical Engineers.
