Introducing local students to the new UofA campus in Texarkana

Local high school students visited the new UofA campus in Texarkana recently. Miller County ranks 75th of 75 counties in students utilizing the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship, which is funded largely by the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery. One reason for that is that the scholarship lottery cannot be used by Arkansas students at the other two colleges in Texarkana, Texarkana College and Texas A&M-Texarkana. This college will bring needed opportunities for Miller County and help provide a pipeline to the UA system flagship in Fayetteville. The director of this campus will report to Chris Thomason, the chancellor at UACCH.
