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. To become or remain eligible for financial aid, a student must maintain an acceptable completion of courses and a satisfactory GPA. Major criteria for determining financial aid are eligibility, financial need, academic achievement, character, and the promise of future success.
