Pathways to Postsecondary Education Awards

For over 10 years, the Pathways to Postsecondary Education Awards presented by the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education (ACPE) recognize successful college access programs across the State that assist students and families as they prepare for, transition to or succeed in postsecondary education.  The awards are meant not only to honor the outstanding programs, but to recognize the good work being done in college access with the hope the work being done can be replicated to assist other students to succeed in postsecondary education.

 

Awards will be presented in the following four categories: 

 

K-12	Programs/efforts by K-12 schools to support students as they transition into postsecondary education
Higher Education	Programs/efforts by postsecondary institutions to support students through K-12 and into postsecondary education
Community	Programs/efforts by postsecondary institutions to support students through K-12 and into postsecondary education
Business	Programs/efforts by business stakeholders to support students through K-12 and into postsecondary education

                           

Entries must be submitted to the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education (ACPE) no later than Friday, August 2, 2013.  Award winners will be recognized Friday morning, November 22,  2013 at an award ceremony breakfast on the second day of the Developing Human Capital Conference at the Renaissance Hotel in Downtown Phoenix.  Awards will be presented by an Arizona State legislator(s).
