Female faculty member mentoring a student

For the safety of University students, staff, and faculty, Nationally Competitive Awards staff will be working remotely beginning March 19. Please continue to email us at awards@uark.edu. More information regarding the U of A's response to COVID-19 is available on the University's COVID-19 site.

The Office of Nationally Competitive Awards provides fellowship and grant information and support to University of Arkansas students and recent graduates, helping them build the strongest application possible with the intent of accomplishing goals including securing graduate funding, studying abroad, and gaining professional experience. To explore award opportunities, search our listing in the Fellowship and Scholarship Directory in the left-hand menu.

We assist students with a number of awards, including the Goldwater, Marshall, Truman, Gates Cambridge, Udall, NSF, and Rhodes Scholarships.

Our students received nearly $2 million in nationally competitive awards last year.

We seek to inform students as early as their freshman and sophomore years about specific opportunities. We also collaborate with campus faculty and staff to identify potential student scholars, and provide information and recognition to students through workshops and events.
