ARKANSAS SCHOLAR BOOK AWARD - UACCB will provide, at no cost, required textbooks for UACCB courses to all students designated as Arkansas Scholars. Each Arkansas Scholar must purchase consumable items such as workbooks, online access codes, and other supplies such as pens, notebooks, etc. with personal funds or other financial aid. Arkansas Scholars must return all textbooks to UACCB at the end of each term. Arkansas Scholars who wish to purchase any of the provided textbooks for their personal libraries will be charged the "used" book price when the book is returned at the end of the term. The Arkansas Scholars Book Award will be effective following the student's graduation from high school. This award is applicable for fall, spring and summer terms. If a student fails to meet satisfactory academic progress as established by the college, the scholarship will be revoked. If the student does not return all textbooks at the end of each semester or make arrangements to buy the textbooks, the scholarship will be revoked. Once a scholarship is revoked, it will not be reinstated.
