Scholarships & Financial Aid

Scholarships for students seeking rewarding careers involving food, family, or the environment are made possible by generous gifts from many firms and individuals. The criteria for these scholarships include academics, financial need, interests, organizational involvement, etc.  All current and prospective Bumpers College undergraduate students are encouraged to apply each year.

Announcements

Thanks to the support of our generous scholarship donors, Bumpers College was able to provide approximately $730,000 to more than 370 students last year to help support their dreams and professional aspirations. 

 

Scholarship offers for 2013-2014 are currently being sent throughout the month of May.  Incoming freshmen and transfer students will receive offers via the U.S. postal service.   Current UA will receive offers via uark email.

Due to the number of applicants and the reallocation of unclaimed scholarships, Bumpers College does not send nonaward letters.

ALL students are encouraged to check their Univesity of Arkansas email accounts weekly throughout the summer for important information from Bumpers College and the University of Arkansas.
