*You do not have to receive funding from FAFSA or the Arkansas Challenge Scholarship to participate in the UAHT Iron Horse Advantage; these steps are simply part of the eligibility process.
The UAHT Iron Horse Advantage program is a last-dollar scholarship program that covers tuition, academic fees, and textbook rental costs for eligible students during the first year of college.
- UAHT will apply the Pell Grant, Arkansas Challenge, and Arkansas Challenge Plus (if eligible) to the tuition and fees.
- The remaining balance for up to 15 hours of tuition, mandatory fees, and textbook rental will be paid by UAHT.
- Please note that students enrolled in more than 15 hours or in courses that require additional fees will be responsible for these charges. For a list of additional fees, please visit https://www.uaht.edu/about/tuition.php.
