The Bobby Owen Memorial Scholarship is an annual scholarship program offered by the Arkansas Community Foundation. The scholarship is named in memory of Bobby Owen, a former Arkansas state legislator who was a strong advocate for education. The scholarship is awarded to high school seniors who are graduating from an Arkansas high school and who are planning to attend an accredited college or university in the state of Arkansas. The Bobby Owen Memorial Scholarship provides financial assistance to eligible students to help offset the cost of tuition, fees, books, and other related expenses. The scholarship application process typically opens in the fall and closes in early spring. A selection committee reviews the applications and selects the scholarship recipients to study.
