HOPE/TEXARKANA, AR – June 22, 2026
Registration is open now for Summer II and fall classes at the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana, and eligible parents are encouraged to ask about the Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative as they make plans to attend UAHT.
The Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative is designed to help parents pursue college classes and career training by helping remove common barriers to enrollment, persistence, and completion. At UAHT, Career Pathways connects qualifying students with resources that may include assistance with tuition, textbooks, testing fees, uniforms, supplies, childcare, transportation, technology, tutoring, academic support, career guidance, and other needs related to their education and training.
“Many parents want to return to school but are balancing work, children, transportation, and finances,” said Dr. Sonya Thomas, UAHT Career Pathways Director. “Career Pathways exists to help eligible students take the next step with support that is practical, personal, and focused on helping them finish.”
Career Pathways serves custodial and noncustodial parents of children under age 21. Students may qualify if they receive services such as SNAP, Medicaid, CHIP, SSI, SSD, WIC, HUD/Section 8 housing, or are current or former recipients of Transitional Employment Assistance. Applicants who do not receive those services may still qualify if their household income is below 250% of the federal poverty level.
Summer II classes at UAHT begin July 6, and fall classes begin August 19. Summer II provides students with an excellent opportunity to earn college credit, stay on track for graduation, or get a head start before the fall semester. UAHT offers more than 50 degree and certificate programs, including academic transfer options and career and technical programs designed to prepare students for in-demand jobs.
