Are you the custodial or noncustodial parent of a child under the age of 21?

The Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative can help you with tuition and support for related expenses.

The Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) program serves custodial and noncustodial parents of children under the age of 21. This includes parents who are or have been involved in the justice system and minor parents between the ages of 18-24.
