If you are a high school senior or a current college student heading to a college, university, or trade school, and you show leadership, community involvement, and financial need, you are welcome to apply.

To apply, submit a completed application before the deadline. If you have questions or want a hand getting started, send us a message and we will point you in the right direction.

The application deadline is March 26, 2027, and we announce the students chosen to receive the award on May 28, 2027.

We look for students who reflect the values Tyler lived by: leadership, community involvement, perseverance, and a real commitment to their goals, along with financial need. Character matters to us as much as anything on paper.

The Tyler Colquitt Scholarship is based in Arkansas, but eligibility comes down to the criteria above rather than where you live. If you meet them and are unsure whether you qualify, just reach out and we will help you find out.

We honor Tyler's memory by looking at the whole person, not just grades. Leadership, heart, perseverance, and the way you show up for your community all matter here.

You are never on your own. If you have a question about eligibility, run into a snag while applying, or want to check where things stand, reach out and someone will help.
