Officials from the North Little Rock School District and the University of Arkansas Pulaski Technical College gathered Thursday at North Little Rock High School to sign a partnership agreement that paves the way for students to earn college degrees before they graduate high school.
This establishes a program that allows eligible students in grades 10 through 12 at North Little Rock High School and the Center of Excellence to enroll in concurrent courses that fulfill general education requirements for an Associate of General Studies degree.
Parents or guardians will not be charged for tuition, fees, or materials through this program.
Graduates who earn their associate degree through this program may qualify for the Arkansas Transfer Achievement Scholarship. This opportunity allows them to transfer to the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and pay the same affordable UA-PTC base tuition rate while earning their bachelor’s degree.
Through the Scholastic Institute, UA-PTC will provide on-site advising and enrollment assistance at least once per semester. Courses will be taught by NLRSD instructors who meet UA-PTC adjunct faculty qualifications and undergo yearly evaluations, as well as by UA-PTC faculty, both in person and online. The program will follow the UA-PTC academic calendar, ensuring students are immersed in the college experience.
Fifth grade parents, your student will be bringing home information to you about scheduling classes for sixth grade. Please check your email for information about the classes that are available to them. The email also contains a video from Ms. Alicia Bailey, the counselor at the Sixth Grade Campus, who walks you through the scheduling process.
Forms are due back to student's fifth grade teacher by February 20.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Bailey at baileya@nlrsd.org.
Five North Little Rock High School/COE seniors were awarded scholarships from the Thea Foundation. The North Little Rock non-profit awards talent-based college scholarships to students. Categories can include performing arts, visual arts, creative writing, film, and fashion.
These students have poured their hearts into their craft, and seeing their hard work rewarded is truly inspiring. We can’t wait to see the incredible things they'll achieve in the next chapter of their journeys.
