How the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Smart Choice Tuition Waiver Works

At the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ – Fort Smith, we know that transferring to a new university is a big step. The Smart Choice Tuition Waiver delivers the affordability your used to and the flexibility you need to earn a college degree. Here’s everything you need to know about how the program works:

1. Understand the Savings
   • This program helps transfer students reduce tuition costs by waiving:
     
     • ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ will waive $100 of tuition per credit hour
     • . This waiver will apply for up to 90 total credit hours OR the completion of your degree, whichever comes first. This allows you to focus on completing your degree without unnecessary financial strain.
       • Please note: The Smart Choice Tuition Waiver cannot be combined with other institutional aid from ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´. However, qualified students can still apply for non-institutional assistance such as Pell Grants, private scholarships, and third-party aid.
         
         
2. Check Your Eligibility
   • To qualify for the Smart Choice Tuition Waiver, you must:
     • Be considered a transfer student
     • Transfer at least 30 earned credit hours from a previous institution
     • Hold a 2.0 GPA or higher at the time of transfer
       • These simple requirements are designed to make this opportunity accessible and achievable.
         
         
3. Set Your Path to Fit Your Pace
   • The Smart Choice Tuition Waiver is designed with your life in mind. Whether you attend part-time or full-time, the program applies:
     • For up to 90 total credit hours
     • OR until you complete your degree, whichever comes first
       • This flexibility allows you to balance school with other commitments and still enjoy significant savings.
         
         
4. Maintain your Eligibility
   • Keeping your tuition waiver is simple:
     • Stay enrolled at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´
     • Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress for your degree path. (SAP will be checked at the end of the spring semester.)
       • Our support services, including personalized advising, tutoring, access to 24-hour computer labs, and more, will help you stay on track to graduation and maximize your academic investment.
