Apprenticeship The objective of Apprenticeship is to broaden the educational, career, and economic opportunities for all youth through partnerships among businesses, schools, and community-based organizations as well as state and local governments. Enrollment in an Apprenticeship program provides an opportunity for students to explore the world of work and receive school credit as well as receive payment for work. Students must enroll in the appropriate class to be eligible for Apprenticeship opportunities. For more information see Appendix A. Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship Program The Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship Program provides scholarships in the amount of $1500 or tuition, whichever is less, to Arkansas high school students who qualify. This scholarship is currently being assessed for continuation by the Arkansas State Legislature. Consult your counselor on the status of this scholarship and the qualifications. Attendance All students under the age of 18 must be enrolled in school and be in regular attendance. Any student who does not comply with the district attendance policy #5113, AR 5113.1 (see Student Handbook) must be reported to the Prosecuting Attorney for the City of Fayetteville and the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration in accordance with state law. The Department of Finance and Administration is required to revoke the driver’s license of any student who is reported for non-attendance. A minimum number of periods of required instruction in which students must be enrolled will be established by the administration. During pre-registration and Career and Academic Planning (CAP) conferences, students will be informed of the number of required classes necessary for the coming year. College and Career Connections: Earn College Credit while in High School Students who are enrolled or have taken certain technical advanced placement courses can earn college credit, free of charge, and begin working toward an Associate of Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) at Northwest Arkansas Community College (NWACC) in Bentonville, Arkansas or a Certificate Program at Northwest Technical Institute (NTI) in Springdale, Arkansas.
