AWARDS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
Eligibility and Procedural Rules
COLLEGE OF HEALTH RELATED PROFESSIONS
CHRP scholarships are normally awarded at the beginning of the fall and spring
semesters. Student application packages are sent to all CHRP department chairs
approximately 16 weeks before the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
The student scholarship applications are due in the Dean’s Office about six
weeks before the fall/spring semester begins. The scholarship selection
committee usually meets four weeks before the beginning of the fall/spring
semester and recommends distribution of the scholarship funds. First
consideration for all scholarships will be given to full-time students who are
Arkansas residents.
