At the heart of The Cardinal Advocacy and Resource Center is the conviction that education is a basic human right, essential to a thriving democracy. We recognize that to support our students through completion, students often need assistance outside of the classroom. Affording students the tools to reduce basic needs insecurity and learn to advocate for themselves is a priority at the CARC. Available to all students enrolled in at least 3 hours, the CARC is more than just a food and clothing pantry. Equitable access to basic needs includes assistance for, but not limited to, transportation, child-care, housing, food, technology, and emergency funding. Holistic support is also available to meet students where they area. We work to ensure students basic needs are met so they can focus on their academic success. Learning to be an advocate for themselves is another important function of the CARC. To that end, we provide students with an updated and comprehensive resource guide to allow students to easily locate and find services at the time they need it.

Career Academy is a dual credit workforce program in a high demand career that leads to a college level 1 certificate while in high school or the summer immediately following high school graduation. Austin Community College offers five Career Academies to help you land an in-demand job as soon as possible in the field of construction, education, manufacturing, health sciences, or IT. Career Academy classes are intended for workforce entry, not university transfer. However, some credits may be applied toward an associate degree. Tuition and fees are waived for participating in-district students. Out-of-district students qualify for significant discounts and pay just $150 per course. These discounts are good for up to 12 courses, after which regular tuition and fees are assessed for both groups. Classes are taught by ACC faculty on ACC campuses (or virtually, when necessary).

Career READY supports students who are interested in pursuing an experience in …
Career READY supports students who are interested in pursuing an experience in a field that typically does not offer pay. Through the Federal Work Study Experiment, students can be awarded pay amounts based on their unmet need. Students work at off campus locations in internships that align with their academic pursuits and they get paid as campus student workers for the semester of their internship experience. Students engage in all the same training and requirements of being an on campus student employee, and they benefit from their off campus training and requirements at their internship site. Students apply for the program via Handshake Experiences where we connect with their site supervisors about their internship experience and provide student and site evaluations. While this program is open to all students who are federal work study eligible, we encourage all students to check with student financial aid about the opportunity to become eligible. We have had 47 students successfully complete the program since spring of 2021, with over $279,000 awarded! Students share that this opportunity allowed them to focus more on their courses and internship experience because they didn’t have to get an extra job to make ends meet. Additionally, a large number of participants have been Education majors, who traditionally work full-time at clinical teaching sites without pay. This program has made a huge difference and impact on them so they could successfully complete their degrees without the stress of limited to no income, or taking out additional student loans.

The vision of the CRED program is to create a culture of life-long learning at UNT Dallas. The three goals that support this vision are the foundation of principals integrated into existing programs and resources to help build a culture where UNT Dallas students are self-motivated to pursue knowledge for professional success and are prepared graduated that employers seek in new hires. The three goals are: 1) students assess career options; 2) students test career expectations through direct exposure to workplace cultures; and 3) students evaluate strategies to maintain job-related effectiveness. Students participate in these goals at each level of their academic journey at UNT Dallas through career exploration activities, in-class assignments, experiential learning participation, and networking with community partners to practice job-attainment activities.

The Career/Technical supply reimbursement program allows for grant funds to alleviate financial burdens on students in specific career and technical education programs. Hence, breaking down barriers for students. The program reimburses students up to $250 for out-of-pocket expenses. The expenses are program specific and are required by the program. Nursing (RN/LVN), Pharmacy Technician, Emergency Medical Services, and Surgical Technology program expenses may include badges, scrubs/uniforms/lab coats, watches, stethoscope, shoes, electronic device, and blood pressure cuff. Welding could include the student's welding hood and gloves. Barber and Cosmetology expenses could include the required student kit (manikin heads, clippers, shears, combs, brushes, hair dryers, curling irons, etc). Students have been very appreciative of the reimbursement program. Many, as we know, don't have extra funds for the additional costs that financial aid can't cover.

ACC makes childcare scholarships available to low-income student parents. The core features of the childcare scholarship program are 1) case management and 2) parent choice.

The goals of the childcare scholarships are 1) to improve the semester to semester persistence rates of student parents and 2) to improve the graduation rates of student parents. Funding for the program come from ACC's Perkins grant and from institutional sources.

The Circle of Support is a partnership between Temple College and the …
The Circle of Support is a partnership between Temple College and the Temple community to ensure no student drops out of college because of life barriers, including emergency expenses, child care, transportation, housing, and food. Students in need of assistance with non-academic issues can access the Circle of Support Resource Center in person, by phone, by email, or may opt to complete an online intake form. Once a request is received, a student can expect an initial response from the director within 24 hours. The reply will include referrals to community organizations that assist with the student's specific barrier, including mental health services, vaccinations, women's services, and help with utilities. In addition to connecting students to external resources, the Circle of Support offers in-house resources. Students needing emergency aid for expenses such as car repairs, unexpected medical expenses, and basic needs can receive help in two ways. First, supported by a faculty recommendation, a student can receive a one-time award of up to $300 to help offset emergency expenses through the Student Success Fund. Second, the student can apply for a no-interest Leopard Loan. Temple College recognizes that food insecurity is a serious concern that can interfere with academic performance and student success. Therefore, the Circle of Support Resource Center features an on-campus food pantry open to students and employees experiencing food insecurity. Aside from traditional canned and dry food products, shoppers may choose from various fresh proteins, dairy, and produce. Additionally, the pantry offers hygiene and cleaning products. Providing the students access to resources that address life barriers such as mental health needs, housing, childcare, emergency funds, and food insecurity speaks to Temple College's focus on student success and the importance of a holistic approach to serving students.
