Tuition Covered for Residents of Arkansas

If you live in Arkansas and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Arkansas and it has been less than three years since your discharge there is a chance that University of Arkansas will consider you an in-state student anyways. Arkansas is one of the few states where this reciprocity is not guaranteed so you will want to verify this with them directly.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While University of Arkansas participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

University of Arkansas awarded a total of $277 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 2 veterans for an average award of $138 ($277 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at University of Arkansas. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
