Institutional Scholarships

 

The University of Arkansas at Monticello offers a variety of institutional scholarships to assist students with strong academic records. For scholarship consideration, entering freshmen must submit an admissions application, test scores, (ACT superscore, SAT, Accuplacer), and an official high school transcript.
The University of Arkansas at Monticello is accepting weighted grade point averages for new first time freshman applicants effective January 1, 2025. The final grade point average provided by a high school and located on the official senior transcript will be entered for use in academics and awarding any institution scholarship the student might be offered or eligible to receive. Scholarship awards will be made when all appropriate criteria has been met.  No individual calculations will be done by the university.

  • Students will only be awarded the scholarship with the highest eligible value.
  • The July ACT test is the last score report that will be accepted for scholarship purposes.
  • No scholarships will be renewed if a student falls below a 2.00 GPA for any semester.
