We believe that nothing should stop motivated, hardworking people from having a good career and a better future. But pursuing your goals can be hard. And finding the money, time, and energy to go to college can seem impossible.
Arizona Career Pathways is here to help you succeed. We provide financial assistance and one-on-one support services to hundreds of low-income students every year. We can guide you on the path from community college to career success. You provide the hard work and determination. Here’s what we provide.
Financial Assistance
Arizona Career Pathways provides financial support to help students earn a community college degree or credential:
Education Costs: We help students pay for tuition, fees, and books. As much as half or more of these education expenses may be covered.
Financial Aid: We will help you apply for federal student aid, through the FAFSA application, to get all the money and financial support you are eligible to receive.
Everyday Expenses: We also provide financial support for some monthly expenses, like gas, food, and utilities, so students don’t have to take on extra hours at work and can stay focused on their education.
Unexpected Challenges: We understand that, without warning, setbacks happen that make life even harder. Cars break down, rent goes up, a family member needs care. But students pursuing their education and career goals shouldn’t be knocked off track when facing unexpected challenges that are no fault of their own. We build relationships with our students and can provide some one-time financial assistance when times are especially tough.

Career Connections
Earning a degree or credential in a high-demand career field qualifies you for better jobs and higher pay. But getting a job requires an entirely different set of skills: writing a resume, finding job openings, and doing well in an interview.
Our graduates don’t have to go it alone. We’ll guide you on how to write your resume and cover letters and coach you on how to shine in job interviews. And we’ll connect you with local companies looking to hire well-trained workers like you.
Arizona Career Pathways will support you throughout your job search and help you find a good paying job in your chosen field. About 90% of our graduates find jobs in their fields.
