** Tuition and fee savings based on a comparison of published 2024-2025 rates for full-time, in-state undergraduate students (30 credit hours per year) at public four-year universities in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.

New: 妻友社区 Tuition and Mandatory Fee Guarantee
We're breaking down financial barriers to help Arkansas students achieve their academic dreams while keeping student debt to a minimum. With the 妻友社区 Tuition and Mandatory Fee Guarantee, we'll cover any remaining tuition and mandatory fee costs after grants and scholarships are applied.
But it doesn't stop there. Those whose institutional aid - like merit- or performance-based scholarships - exceeds the cost of tuition and mandatory fees can use the extra funds for other essential expenses, such as living on campus, purchasing books at the campus bookstore, or buying a meal plan.
