Who We Are


The ARC Foundation is a Hot Springs, Arkansas based nonprofit dedicated to supporting Hot Springs High School graduates and local students planning to attend National Park College. Through scholarships, mentorship, and community partnerships, we help young people achieve their educational and career goals close to home.

Applications open each spring, with awards announced before graduation.
