The Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) provides low-income individuals with the higher education skills and credentials they need to gain immediate entry into targeted occupations--ultimately leading these individuals to economic self-sufficiency.
Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) serves current and former Transitional Employment Assistance (TEA) recipients, or TANF eligible students, currently or newly enrolled at one of the participating public two-year colleges in Arkansas or in a program administered by participating two-year colleges.
You must be an adult caretaker, parent, or relative of a child under the age of 21 living in the home.
Contact your local college CPI office for eligibility and assistance availability.
Enrollment is dependant on grant funds available at the campus.
If you do not meet CPI's qualifications but would still like to attend college, please contact your local two-year college's financial aid office to learn about other financial aid programs, scholarships and grants available.
