Arkansas Guard gets tuition-free certificate programs
Eligible Arkansas National Guard soldiers and airmen now get tuition-free certificate and credential programs, alongside undergraduate degrees, at state-supported colleges. Existing eligibility rules remain: members must be Arkansas residents or qualify for in-state tuition and cannot already have a bachelor's degree. Members must complete initial active-duty training and be active Guard members in good standing, subject to existing legal exceptions. They must also be accepted and enrolled at the college as students in good standing. They must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). They must apply for federal and state grants and scholarships they qualify for, plus grants and scholarships from their college.
