Sincethe inception, seven years ago, the PRHS Alumni Scholarship Program has awarded scholarships to members of Pea Ridge High School graduating classes, applicable to tuition and books for the first two semesters at the college or university of the student's choice. With the community's support, the Alumni Scholarship Program has grown from offering a single scholarship in 2007, to awarding eight scholarships currently. Alumni Scholarships normally are for $500 per semester, and are renewable for a second semester when the student achieves a satisfactory grade point.
