Frequently Asked Questions
You may be wondering…
How can this be free?
Recent legislation (Act 546) has established the Arkansas Adult Diploma Program Act, a program to create a free path for many Arkansas residents over the age of 21 to complete their adult high school diploma. Grad Solutions is an approved facilitator of this program. There is no cost for qualifying students to participate (no fees, books, or other expenses). This program is available as long as state funds are still available.
Do I qualify?
To qualify for this program, you must:
- Be an Arkansas resident
- Be age 21 or older
- Not have a high school diploma
Since this program is 100% online, internet access and a computer is also required.
Will I earn my GED or a diploma?
Upon completion, this program will award you an accredited high school diploma. By earning your diploma instead of a high school equivalency diploma like the GED, you will increase your job prospects and your earning potential. Unlike an equivalency diploma, your diploma from Grad Solutions is a fully accredited online high school diploma and will be accepted when applying for college or higher education.
What makes this different from other programs?
Grad Solutions offers a unique student experience. We know the right support can be a game-changer for our students. When you become a student, you will be assigned a personal mentor to help see you through from start to finish. They will offer support that’s tailored to you and access to resources to help you succeed with valuable life skills.
Am I a good fit for this?
This is a great opportunity for:
-
Individuals who completed some previous high school, but didn’t graduate
-
Parent/Grandparents looking to return to school
-
Adult students working full-time (or more) and looking to earn their diploma
Is this program totally online?
Yes! Grad Solutions students can complete their high school credits and online exams entirely from their computers. You must have internet access and a computer to access your coursework and communicate with your mentor and instructors.
