Arkansas Washington Center Scholarship

The details

One-time award of up to $6,000 for Arkansas students admitted to The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWC). TWC requires second-semester sophomore standing or above, a 2.75 GPA, academic credit from the home college, and a campus liaison endorsement. State law (Act 1046 of 2007) also requires Arkansas residency, U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, and enrollment at an eligible Arkansas institution in a program leading to a bachelor's or associate degree. If eligible applicants exceed funds, awards are first come, first served; those not funded get priority for a later term.
