YOUniversal Financial Aid System

Arkansas Universal Financial Aid Management System

The Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) worked with Governor Mike Beebe and the General Assembly to improve the financial aid process for students looking to attend college for the first time or continue with their education.

Millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarship funds went unused in Arkansas due to a cumbersome paper process and more than 21 different programs requiring individual process and documentation. Students, parents, and counselors were not always aware of various programs or how best to gain access and apply.

In a matter of minutes, students answer a few basic questions and the “YOUniversal” Financial Aid System determines aid for which they may be eligible across all 21 programs. Students may then submit one application, simplifying the process into one easy step!

FBI Background Checks and Civil Fingerprint Harvesting

Arkansas is a limited criminal history state and does not provide open records. In the 2007 legislative session, new legislation was passed to allow 3rd parties and service providers, with the consent of the subject, to access the Criminal Background Check (CBC) system. The Information Network of Arkansas worked with the Arkansas State Police (ASP) to enhance the existing CBC System to electronically deliver FBI fingerprint results to requesters. A second component of this project was to integrate the system with Civil Fingerprint Harvesters to offer electronic fingerprint collection sites in Arkansas.

Commercial Driver Alcohol and Drug Testing Results Database

Arkansas is one of five states to pass legislation requiring a database of positive or refused drug and alcohol test results for commercial drivers and is the only state to require the employer to search the database prior to employment. This Department of Finance and Administration application was developed at no cost to the citizens of Arkansas and is a complete solution that provides interfaces for employers, medical review officers, service providers and agency administration.
