Seniors, remember the ACT when making your back-to-school shopping plans!
Seniors only have three more ACTs to help them qualify for academic scholarships at MANY colleges and universities in Arkansas.
Many colleges and universities in Arkansas have a final scholarship deadline in February, so seniors can only take the following tests to meet these deadlines.
• September
• October
• December
The February and April ACTs are helpful for making a qualifying score on the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship.
What are you waiting for?!? Register today!
Registration can be completed at act.org. The registration deadline for the September ACT is August 4.
If you think you are eligible for an ACT waiver, please email Mrs. Dean, OHS Career Coach, at melanie.dean@ozarkhillbillies.org.
