Act 943, passed by the Arkansas Legislature in 2015 directs college and universities to develop and implement action plans to help students prevent unplanned pregnancy or delay plans for additional pregnancies.
Arkansas is #2 in pregnancy rates for 15-19 year olds and unplanned births result in 1 in 10 college dropouts*. The topic of preventing unplanned pregnancy is relevant for both college men and women, for those who are already parents, as well as those who are not parents.

CCAMPIS
米乐M6 has received a $750,000 grant from the U.S. Department of
Education Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) program.
As a result of the grant, a cohort of 50 Pell Grant-eligible ATU students who have children and reside in a five-county region (Pope, Yell, Franklin, Logan and Johnson) will be selected each of the next four years to receive funding for child care at one of childcare facilities that have agreed to partner with Arkansas Tech on the initiative.
