Free 1st Year at UAHT for High School Grads in Hempstead County

Here is something that high school seniors in Hempstead County need to know and take advantage of! The University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana just announced they have established the new Hempstead Guarantee Scholarship.

What does this mean? With the Hempstead Guarantee Scholarship, UAHT will provide graduates from high schools in Hempstead County with a scholarship to UAHT completely free for their first year. That's right, and it all begins with the class of 2024.

This scholarship will give you the funds to pay tuition, fees, and book rental costs beyond any of the financial aid that students qualify for in their first year after high school graduation.

Dr. Christine Holt, UAHT Chancellor stated in a press release,

We are elated to offer an opportunity of this magnitude to Hempstead County residents The hardworking people of Hempstead County have long supported UAHT with their hard-earned tax dollars, and the creation of this scholarship is one way we can say, ‘thank you,’ and give back. This scholarship will be a game-changer for many students in Hempstead County who have previously been unable to afford higher education. It will save students over $9,400 in tuition and fee costs compared to the average yearly cost of public 4-year universities in Arkansas.

This partnership between UAHT and high schools in Hempstead County, the college is offering concurrent credit courses to high school students, with the high schools partnering to pay the remaining 50% of students’ UAHT tuition and fees after any Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarships are applied.
