This scholarship pays in-state tuition, housing and mandatory fees for the spouse or dependent child of a service member or veteran who was killed, went missing, was a prisoner of war, or has a 100 percent total and permanent disability rating. It pays whatever is left after three months of federal Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance is applied, so if DEA covers everything, nothing is paid. You can use it for eight semesters or until you earn a degree, whichever comes first.
Apply online through the Arkansas Scholarship Application Management System; new users register first. For help, call 501-371-2000 or email finaid@adhe.edu.
Proof you have lived in Arkansas for at least a year, proof of your relationship to the service member or veteran, proof of U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status, the service member’s casualty or VA rating documentation, and your school enrollment or acceptance letter. The full document list is on the program webpage.
