How can qualifying students enroll for free?
Recent legislation (AZ HB 2866) has established the Arizona Adult Workforce Diploma Program, a program to create a free path for many Arizona residents over the age of 21 to complete their high school diploma. Smart Schools is an approved facilitator of this program. There is no cost to qualifying student 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 Arizona resident, age 21 or older, and have completed some high school. Since this program is 100% online, access to a computer and the internet is also required. If you live in the Valley, we invite you to utilize one of our HUB locations.

Upon completion, this program will award you with a high school diploma. By earning your diploma, you will better your job prospects and increase your earning potential. Since Smart Schools is fully accredited, your diploma will also be accepted when applying for college or university.
What makes this different from other programs?
Smart Schools offers a unique student experience. We know the right support can be a difference maker for our students. When you become a student, you will be assigned a personal academic advisor to help see you through from start to finish. They will offer support that’s tailor fit to you and access to resources to help you succeed.
