Razorback Bridge Scholarship

Awarded to students from underrepresented communities who have demonstrated outstanding academic leadership qualities and potential. Members of underrepresented communities include but are not limited to: students from underrepresented ethnic or minority groups, students with interest in a field that does not typically attract members of their ethnicity or gender, students who reside in an underrepresented county in Arkansas, and  first-generation college students.

Students selected as Razorback Bridge Scholars will participate in a peer and faculty mentoring program. Razorback Bridge Scholars will also have opportunities for involvement in leadership activities on campus.

Admissions and Eligibility Requirements

Receipt of a general freshman scholarship is contingent upon being fully admitted and enrolled as an undergraduate at the University of Arkansas. 

Additionally, most scholarships require that recipients be U.S. citizens, legal residents of the United States, or foreign nationals permitted to pursue a course of study in the United States. Recipients who have not met all admission and eligibility requirements by the first day of classes may have their scholarship offer withdrawn.

Award Information

Scholarship recipients will be credited with up to the total amount of the yearly scholarship to assist in the payment of tuition, tuition-related fees, and/or on-campus housing (double occupancy). Generally, one-half of the scholarship amount will be applied to fall semester charges and the other half to spring semester charges.

The Academic Scholarship Office reserves the right to replace a scholarship with a comparable scholarship of equal or greater value and/or to replace a general scholarship with a similar scholarship funded by a generous donor (named scholarship). Generally, students with a named scholarship will be required to submit a letter of appreciation before scholarship funds will be disbursed.
