Arkansas State University Campus Tour

I had a wonderful time with the Hoxie juniors and seniors on our ASU campus tour November 8. I hope you enjoyed the tour and listened carefully to what the financial aid officer had to say. Remember that Nicole stated the first scholarship priority deadlines are December 1. Scholarship awarding will begin October 1, 2007 and continue based upon the availability of funds. Chancellors, Deans, Academic Merit, and Beyond Boundaries Scholarships all have the December 1 priority deadline. Also, remember that Nicole said you can include a student resume listing all of your accomplishments to the application. If you are awaiting scores from the October ACT test, you should be able to view them on-line at http://www.act.org/ beginning November 14.

I hope that you will take advantage of all the resources that Student Support Services mentioned. You must apply to that program and the bridge program seemed like an excellent opportunity. Lunch was great and you guys were absolutely wonderful.

Bruno-Pyatt Walking With Dinosaurs-Alltell Arena

Tomorrow is the big day. The Walking With Dinosaurs Experience bus will leave the school at 6:45am, so don’t be late. If you haven’t brought in your permission slip, we must have it in hand before you get on the bus. Remember, you need a pack lunch because we are eating at Riverfront park. Bring your camera if you want and you might want to bring something to do on the bus because the ride is a good two and a half hours. I’ll see you all in the morning.

Pictures, Podcast, Plus!

Seems as though it's been a while since I posted and I guess it has. Anyway we are hard at work here getting some of the things we've promised done.

First of all, there are some new photos in the photo album. These new ones are of Yellville-Summit high school students playing Financial Aid Scrabble (note, not all words were financial aid related ;)

Second, the first episode of the Talent Search Podcast is finished, we are just waiting on iTunes to review it and accept it into the iTunes Store. To download it directly, right-click on the link above and choose "save as".

Lastly, Bruno-Pyatt seventh graders and seniors: GET YOUR PERMISSION SLIPS IN for Friday's field trip. Remember, you can't go without it. Also remember, the bus leaves at 6:45am; don't be late!

ACT Test Prep Videos (FREE)

I just stumbled accross these ACT Test prep videos on YouTube. I didn't watch all of them, but it appears SuperMagnetMan covers the entire Science portion of the ACT Test. He has some great tips and strategies to use while taking the science portion. Also, there is another person on YouTube who has posted ACT Test prep videos on the math section. If you are going to take the ACT anytime soon, you would benefit from checking out those videos. If you have any tips that helped you on the ACT, post those in the comments by clicking the link below this post.
