(AP) – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has signed into law a new
program providing two years of tuition and fees at an Arkansas community or
technical college for students enrolling in high-demand fields of study.
Hutchinson on Thursday signed legislation outlining his proposed ArFuture
Grants program. The program will be funded by redirecting $8.2 million in
general funds from other grant programs. The measure takes effect immediately.
The grant will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis to traditional,
home school and non-traditional students in the state. They are targeted toward
students in high-demand fields, or in science, technology, engineering or
mathematics fields.
