Arkansas Community Colleges (ACC) is once again offering the Academic All-Star scholarship program to students who attend two-year colleges in the state.

The purpose of the Academic All-Star program is to recognize the scholarly and service achievements of Arkansas' two-year college students. Academic All-Stars will be recognized at the ACC Awards Brunch, held in October 2017, in Little Rock, Arkansas. They will receive a $500 scholarship to assist with completing the final semester of their associate degree.

The deadline to apply for the Academic All-Star scholarship is May 31, 2017.

To be eligible for consideration, a student must be an Arkansas resident, currently enrolled at Ozarka College and have plans to be enrolled at Ozarka College through at least fall 2017, have completed a minimum of 24 credit hours in pursuit of an associate degree by June 1, 2017, have the intent to graduate from Ozarka College with an associate degree by summer 2018, and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.25 in all credit coursework completed at Ozarka College.
