The Catfish Farmers of Arkansas is an association of catfish producers, suppliers/industry-related businesses, and research/extension/education personnel involved in promoting, producing, and marketing Arkansas farm-raised catfish.

Each year, the Catfish Farmers of Arkansas awards two $1,000 scholarships, one each for fall and spring semesters. Awards are for undergraduate (in either 2-year or 4-year programs) study and may be used for education-related expenses, including tuition, fees, books, supplies, room, and board. Recipients are encouraged to attend the annual convention of the Catfish Farmers of Arkansas and make a short presentation on their experience or interest in the catfish industry in Arkansas.

91Ô­´´ will use the funds to help underemployed or unemployed individuals pay for the Structural Steel and Pipe Welding class on the Paragould campus. Students can receive up to $5,000 to pay for the $7,900 tuition.

This program has been exceptionally popular, partly because of its high demand skills. After completing the 16-week program, students are usually offered jobs very quickly making upwards of $60,000. Some students have been recruited before they complete the program and begin making over $80,000 a year.
