Education

Our kids are our future.  And our businesses support our students out of an understanding of their importance to our future growth.  The Bryant Area Chamber of Commerce participates in two programs designed to support students.

Arkansas Scholars

The Arkansas Scholars program is a platform for business people to address every Bryant eighth grade class in regards to higher education.  The emphasis here is to have real, working people explain to pre-high school students the importance of taking responsibility for performing to the best of their abilities.  The program has specific criteria established that the student must meet in order to qualify, including maintaining a "C" or better in the recommended college prep coursework and state mandated high school required courses.  Several Arkansas Colleges/Universities offer tuition and book fee incentives to Arkansas Scholars graduates.  For more information on the Arkansas Scholars program, please visit their website:  http://www.arkansasscholars.org/introduction.php

Bryant Area Chamber of Commerce Scholarship

Every year, the Chamber awards monetary scholarships to deserving seniors.  Last year, 16 students received scholarship monies to help with books, living expenses, or tuition.
