Local students have an exclusive opportunity to secure financial aid for the upcoming school year as the Saline County Executive Association (SCEA) officially opens applications for its annual scholarship program. Read more below.

Scholarship Details & Eligibility Requirements

The SCEA scholarship is designed specifically to support Saline County residents pursuing higher education. To qualify, applicants must be full-time students who have already accumulated 24 hours or more of higher education at an Arkansas college or university, or completed at least one semester at a public or private vocational school.

Individual scholarship values will range between $500 and $2,500. The final number of scholarships awarded and their exact dollar amounts will be determined by the SCEA Scholarship Committee based on financial need, the total number of applicants, and the overall quality of the submissions received.
