KOONTZ PROMISE
For students interested in a technical college route, the Koontz Promise Program provides financial and career support to River Valley High School students enrolling at UACCM. This initiative covers educational expenses not already funded by other sources for those obtaining their Associate Degree in Welding, Construction Technology, or Industrial Maintenance and Mechanical Technology.
Students begin as early as their sophomore year of high school, allowing them to get a jump start on their careers while earning their high school diploma. This early exposure accelerates learning, opens doors to financial independence, and long-term stability.
Best of all, it enables students to graduate debt-free with the assurance of a secure, well-paying job with Koontz. It’s more than a scholarship, it’s a promise of opportunity.
KATV Good Morning Arkansas features both UACCM welding and IMMT!

“In high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do until a recruiter came to our school and spoke to us about the Koontz Promise. I felt it was the right path for me. I chose to start attaining my associate’s degree while still in high school through UACCM. After graduation, Koontz hired me, and I’m glad I took this opportunity.”
