Supportive Services


NWACC's Adult Education understands that there can be various barriers to accomplishing your goals. The program offers scholarships to eligible participants and has partnered with the state of Arkansas to provide funding for expenses such as transportation and work necessities. 

SNAP E&T is a proven supportive service that can assist you with achieving your goals.  


SNAP Employment & Training (E&T)

SNAP E&T helps you gain skills, training or work experience to increase your ability to obtain regular employment that leads to economic self-sufficiency. NOTE: Participants must have SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) to enroll into SNAP E&T.
