National Guard Association of Arkansas/EAANG Scholarship

National Guard Association of Arkansas (NGAA)

The National Guard Association of Arkansas (NGAA) through its endowment and insurance program maintains funds to award annual scholarships to members of NGAA and the Enlisted Association of the Arkansas National Guard (EAANG) and their dependents. The endowment is managed by a board of directors selected from the NGAA and EAANG.

The scholarships may be used for any and all college expenses. A scholarship selection committee reviews applications and awards scholarships based on guidelines provided by the board of directors of each association and the endowment.
