SCHOLARSHIPS
The DREAM Scholarship, presented by the DREAM Foundation of Central Arkansas (DFCA), is an annual scholarship program dedicated to helping Arkansas high school seniors pursue their educational goals after graduation. Through the generosity of donors, sponsors, community partners, and supporters, the program provides financial assistance to deserving students attending colleges, universities, and other post-secondary institutions.
The scholarship reflects DFCA’s commitment to Delivering Real Equality Amongst Minorities (DREAM) by helping reduce financial barriers and creating greater access to educational opportunities for students throughout Arkansas.
Beyond financial assistance, the DREAM Scholarship celebrates academic achievement, perseverance, leadership, and the determination to succeed. Scholarship recipients are recognized through the Foundation’s annual Achievement Awards & Scholarship GAMEDAY, where students are celebrated as they prepare for the next chapter of their educational journeys. In 2026, the program awarded $19,250 in scholarships to 34 Arkansas graduates, continuing a tradition that has provided more than $110,000 in scholarship support in recent years. Through the DREAM Scholarship, DFCA continues to invest in education, recognize outstanding young people, and help build the next generation of leaders.
Applications for these scholarships will be available in March 2027.
