Chief Student Officer Richard Harris said Arkansas Tech-Ozark recognizes paying for college can be a challenge and is proud the institution can continue to offer higher education at lower costs to students.

“Dynamic changes in funding throughout the state can make paying for college difficult for some. We are excited to be able to help fund our students and while we have some of the lowest tuition rates in the state, we are happy to relieve some of the financial burden. I congratulate all our scholarship recipients.

“In addition to available summer and fall scholarships, we just completed construction of a state of the art Health Science and Wellness Building, which will enhance the quality education and campus experience students receive,” Harris added. “Now is an exciting time to be part of Arkansas Tech-Ozark.”
