Admission and enrollment

The college describes its undergraduate admissions policy as open. The published checklist asks first-time applicants for an application and an official high-school transcript or GED; transfer applicants also submit college transcripts. The listed application fee is $25, and admissions are rolling, so apply early if you need housing or aid. Get the current checklist and start through the Arkansas Baptist application page.

Financial aid and scholarships

After completing admissions and filing the FAFSA, applicants are automatically considered for available institutional scholarships. ABC says awards can reflect academic achievement, leadership, community involvement, and financial need, but it does not publish current award amounts; request your written offer and renewal conditions before comparing costs. Other listed options include Pell Grants, federal loans, work-study, state aid, and outside awards. Use FAFSA school code 001087. For the college’s steps and contacts, see its financial-aid and scholarship information.

What students report

Public comments describe a compact campus where it can be easier to know people and find a close community. Other reviewers raise concerns about residence-hall conditions and the responsiveness of student services. These are individual accounts rather than a measure of every student’s experience; visit the residence halls and ask how housing, advising, and financial-aid questions are handled now.
