Academic & Workforce<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n The\u00a0Academic & Workforce<\/strong> initiative will provide scholarships where there are still critical needs. With tuition-free assistance from our service region counties, students and their families have found that with additional assistance for books and supplies, education can become a reality for them. Scholarships for non-traditional age students as well as scholarships for many of our workforce programs are still needed.

This initiative will also assist in providing student resources like updated advising and outreach techniques, the Honors Program, and the Alumni Association.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \nFlying Eagles Athletics<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n Athletics<\/strong> brings a tremendous amount of school spirit and pride to our campus. It is a wonderful tool to reach students within our region who may not attend college otherwise.

While it is difficult to anticipate what may be needed 1 year or 5 years from now for students, facilities or programming, Southwest strives to be visionary.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \nOther Options<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/p>\n
