You will need to create a SAMS Account to apply for many state scholarships and grants, including the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship (aka the "lottery" scholarship).
It requires a minimum ACT score of 19 (or an Accuplacer score of 246). You must also complete and submit a FAFSA application.
The Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarships could be worth up to $15,000.00 over four years
Another very important and exciting opportunity is the Arkansas Future Grant. This grant could pay 100% of your tuition if you attend a certain school and earn a degree in a high-demand area. Click on the button for the full list.
And again....write down your email and password that you use to set up your account. Don't use your school email.
