Build Brighter Futures with the Land of Opportunity Scholarship

The Land of Opportunity Scholarship campaign embraces our land-grant mission by supporting Arkansans with the greatest financial need and reflects the university’s commitment to student success. 

  • The scholarship will bridge the financial gap for academically strong Arkansas students with high financial need, including those who are Pell-eligible.
  • It aims to address the 18-point graduation rate gap between Pell-eligible students and their peers, ensuring more students reach the finish line.
  • Students will receive comprehensive support, including mentorship, academic coaching, financial planning, and career readiness programs.
  • This initiative will create opportunities for students from all 75 counties in Arkansas to pursue higher education and achieve their goals.
  • Internship opportunities with Arkansas-based companies will provide scholars with real-world experience, strengthening career pathways and workforce development.
  • The first cohort of Land of Opportunity scholars will begin their studies in Fall 2026, paving the way for future generations of Arkansas students.

The Land of Opportunity Scholarship campaign is an investment in each individual and will have a transformational impact on the economic development of the State of Arkansas. Join us in creating a brighter future for Arkansas students by supporting this initiative. Together, we can ensure that every talented student—no matter their financial situation—has the opportunity to earn a degree and make an impact in our state.
