Students
Our team is here to work with you to create strategies for navigating the financial aspects of college and understanding how academic choices can affect your total cost of attendance. We will work with you in three key areas: understanding how to fund your education and future goals; navigating your current financial environment; and financial strategies to pay for college. Through personalized coaching, our team can help you:
- Read your current tuition and fees to understand how financial aid and scholarships are applied to your bill
- Find renewal criteria for your current financial aid and scholarship packages
- Understand the financial implications for academic choices such as retaking classes, dropping classes, or the impact of your grades
- Establish effective budgeting skills personalized to your needs and goals
Schedule Ahead
Book an appointment to meet with a professional financial education coach in person or online. The details of your meeting will be sent in your calendar invite.
Drop-In
Drop-in coaching is available at The CORD for quick questions, no appointment necessary.
Sessions are approximately 15 minutes, but follow-up appointments can be scheduled
for more in-depth questions.

Faculty and Staff
Faculty and staff can make referrals for students who are struggling with the following:
- Reading current tuition and fees to understand how financial aid and scholarships are applied to bills
- Finding renewal criteria for current financial aid and scholarship packages
- Understanding the financial implications for academic choices such as retaking classes, dropping classes, or grades
- Establishing effective budgeting skills
Faculty and staff can refer students to the Financial Empowerment Program by raising the “Student Success Intervention” flag in UASuccess. When you raise this flag, you can provide information about the concern and one of our financial empowerment coaches will reach out to the student. The student will not see that this flag was raised. Or you can email success@uark.edu with details and the contact information for the student.
