Financial Aid Programs
The Financial Aid Office at East Arkansas Community College seeks to provide financial assistance to any student who, without such support, could not attend the College. A comprehensive program of financial aid in the form of scholarships, loans, grants, and jobs is provided to qualifying students. (See current East Arkansas Community College Catalog for more information or the Financial Aid Office in the Betty Jo Hodges Building.)
The George P. and Alice H. Walker Endowed Scholarship
Because of the caring attention given to members of this family, especially in their final days, this scholarship was established in 2004 through the estate of Mildred Sikes, daughter of George and Alice Walker and dedicated to the support of students at EACC pursuing an Associate of Applied Science degree in an Allied Health Field. It is expected that these students will become practicing health care professionals and provide care for many others over their lifetime. Awarded to a full-time sophomore student with a minimum 3.00 GPA, the award is $1,000 per academic year to cover expenses of tuition, fees and books. Applications may be obtained from the EACC Financial Aid Office and must be submitted by August 1st.
