JOIN WILLIAMS WORKS

A Tuition-Free Education Opportunity
The Williams Works program allows participating students to work part-time jobs to have their tuition and fees completely covered. The initiative is a natural fit for WBU on several fronts.

The university is in a rural setting and incorporates the large acreage it owns surrounding the main campus as the program’s centerpiece, Eagle Farms. The concepts of work and farming are heavily reinforced in the regional culture.

It also reflects the history of the school. Dr. H.E. Williams, who founded the institution as Southern Baptist College in 1941, operated a print shop, a woodworking shop, a rice and soybean farm, an auto repair business and other enterprises created to provide jobs for many students in the early decades of the school.

Lastly, Williams Works complements the spiritual and academic standards of WBU as a powerful new platform for teaching a Christian ethic of work to students. The Bible begins with God at work in creation, and scripture is filled with numerous examples and exhortations about work.

Eligible students selected for Williams Works agree to work 16 hours per week during every week of the fall and spring semesters. Those who complete their assigned hours will have their cost of education covered, which includes tuition and fees. Some students will also be allowed to work in the summer months to cover their room and board expenses for the following year. All Williams Works students are required to complete the FAFSA annually and must apply and accept the Arkansas Challenge scholarship, if eligible.
