During the last decade, the university has drawn a large influx of students from bordering states, largely due to the New Arkansan Non-Resident Tuition Award scholarship program. As of Spring 2018, nearly 40% of the student population is made up of students hailing from outside of Arkansas.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://osai.uark.edu/|title=Home | Office of Strategic Analytics & Insights | University of Arkansas|website=osai.uark.edu}}</ref> As a result, student-centered off-campus apartments communities are being rapidly built to accommodate the growing student population. {{Clear}}
