Mission
THE GOAL OF THE ARKADELPHIA PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP IS TO INCREASE THE COLLEGE-GOING RATE FOR LOCAL STUDENTS, REDUCE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS DROPPING OUT OF COLLEGE FOR FINANCIAL REASONS AND PROVIDE FOR A MORE EDUCATED WORKFORCE. THE ARKADELPHIA PROMISE IS A GAME-CHANGING EFFORT HELPING TO MAKE A COLLEGE EDUCATION NOT JUST A DREAM, BUT A REALITY FOR EVERY CHILD IN ARKADELPHIA. A COLLEGE DEGREE IS A PASSPORT TO FUTURE PROSPERITY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND AN EDUCATED WORKFORCE MAKES ARKADELPHIA A MORE ATTRACTIVE COMMUNITY IN WHICH TO LOCATE A BUSINESS.
