Arkansas Promise & Last-Dollar Programs

Full tuition coverage for Arkansas students at universities across the state

Free College in Arkansas? Yes, Really.

Arkansas universities offer incredible "last-dollar" scholarships that cover every remaining dollar of tuition — and often housing — after other aid is applied. These programs are designed for students from families earning roughly $70K-$92K AGI who might not qualify for programs like QuestBridge.

No perfect ACT required. Most programs need just a 19 ACT and solid grades. The real barrier? Knowing these programs exist and completing the paperwork on time.
