Many students today have big goals for the future but lack the financial resources necessary to achieve them.
With college tuition and fees alone costing between $9,400 and $36,700 per year depending on school type, a college degree is out of reach for many students. While scholarships and other financial aid options are available, students with low GPAs are often overlooked and left out of many opportunities.
This scholarship aims to honor the life of Ryan "RJ" Edgmon by supporting students in Arkansas who are pursuing higher education.
Any high school or undergraduate student of Christian faith in Arkansas who has at least a 2.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship.

We will work with donors to review all applications according to the scholarship criteria. Winners will be chosen based on the merit of their application.
Award checks will be sent to the financial aid office of the winner's academic institution or future academic institution in their name to be applied to their tuition, and in the name of their institution (depending on the school's requirements). If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
Before we award the scholarship, the winner will be required to confirm their academic enrollment status. Depending on the circumstances, verification of Student ID and/or their most recent transcript will be required.
