A new scholarship opportunity is now available to adult education students.  The GED Walmart Scholarship will cover Official GED testing fees, in full, if the student meets the required criteria.

The only criteria for the scholarship is that the candidate must be an adult education student (30 hour minimum), an Arkansas resident, and not earn more than 200 percent of the Federal poverty level.  A student who has only one person in the family can make as much as $23,340 a year.  As always required, the student must take and pass the section of the GED Ready test in which they are testing prior to official testing.

Students are encouraged to complete the scholarship application through Ozarka College Adult Education, as a signature from a certified Adult Education instructor is required prior to submitting application for the GED Walmart Scholarship.

Students who are awarded the scholarship may take the GED test free of charge at Ozarka College in Melbourne, Ash Flat, Mammoth Spring, and Mountain View.   Ozarka College's Adult Education program is ADA accessible, EEOC compliant, and disability accommodations are available upon request.

For additional information about free GED classes or use of the GED Walmart Scholarship, please call Ozarka College's Adult Education Department at 870.368.2300, ext. 2051.
