12 Jun 2023 ASU-Beebe programs eligible for grants

BEEBE — Arkansas State University-Beebe is pleased to announce that several of its courses and programs are eligible for additional Workforce Challenge and Arkansas Future (ArFuture) grants. The grants are funded by Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) and are arranged to help students reach their goals toward obtaining high-demand degrees and certificates that lead to high paying jobs, while reducing out-of-pocket expenses for tuition and fees. 

“With the help of several faculty members in rounding up employee-needs surveys and industry letters of recommendation, we submitted applications to ADHE in March to significantly expand the number of eligible ASU-Beebe degrees and certificates on the state’s approval list for students to access the Arkansas Workforce Challenge Scholarship and the ArFuture Grant,” said Dr. Blake Perkins, associate vice chancellor for academics. 

For the ArFuture Grant, ADHE approved ASU-Beebe for the addition of 11 associate degrees, 12 technical certificates and 10 certificates of proficiency. ADHE also approved ASU-Beebe for the addition of 13 associate degrees, 13 technical certificates, 14 certificates of proficiency, and 15 noncredit certifications and CEUs to the eligibility list for the Arkansas Workforce Challenge Scholarship.
