Financial Aid

An education at UA Little Rock is a valuable investment in your future and we are dedicated to helping you make higher education an achievable goal. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing a quality education at a good value.

To receive federal, state, and many university-sponsored sources of funding, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Once you’ve done that, you’re on your way to receiving financial aid!

The Summer Financial Aid Request form is now available.

Important Announcement About Student Loan Forgiveness

President Joe Biden, Vice President Harris, and the U.S. Department of Education have announced a three-part plan to help working and middle-class federal student loan borrowers transition back to regular payment as pandemic-related support expires. This plan includes loan forgiveness of up to $20,000 for eligible borrowers. Details are still being worked out but for more information please visit, studentaid.gov.
