e realize that many of our students come to us with a number of family, work, and personal issues that may place extra burdens on them in the attainment of their goals. We can provide our students with the technical knowledge, skills, and abilities they need in order to achieve educational and career goals, but additional assistance from outside agencies may be helpful at times. Since our resources are limited in helping individual students deal with financial, family, or personal difficulties, we have provided this list of available services (in Morrilton and Conway County) that are designed to give “in-need” students information concerning where to seek assistance.

Note: This information pertains to agencies primarily located in Conway County. Many of these agencies will accept clients from other counties, but in the instances where the services are exclusively for Conway County residents, the agency should be able to make a referral to the appropriate location for the individual requesting the service.
