For over 40-years, the Arkansas National Guard Foundation has awarded an annual scholarship program to Guard members, their dependents, and their survivors.

To date, the program has awarded over $1.1 million in scholarships. Our goal is to increase our current scholarship program from $37,500 per year to $100,000 per year, enabling a larger pool of recipients and award amounts with even more impact. The Foundation is also committed to providing education choices in secondary and higher-education. National Guard members benefit from the opportunity to enroll their children in specialized schools that meet the unique needs of their families. The Foundation plans to extend the scholarships above to include Primary Education.

ANNUALLY, THE ANGF AWARDS 50 SCHOLARSHIPS TO DESERVING STUDENTS. OUR GOAL IS TO INCREASE TO 100 SCHOLARSHIPS PER YEAR AT $1,000 EACH.

Annual Scholarship Award per student: $750

Total of All Scholarships awarded: $37,500
per year for approximately the last 15 years. The endowment will insure that maximum scholarships are awarded each year.

Number of Applications per Year:
Over the last five years, the number of applicants have varied from 85 to 124.

Students must reapply for a Scholarship each year.
They may receive multiple Scholarship Awards, subject to eligibility.
