ACT
LATE REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR THE DECEMBER ACT IS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16th
The December ACT is the last ACT test that will be used to make
decisions for a number of scholarship programs (like UNL & UNO) and
for some college admissions considerations!
What Makes a Good Scholarship or
Admission Essay?
If an essay is required when you are applying for admission or for a scholarship
to help with your college educational expenses, the essay is extremely
important. A well-written essay will differentiate a truly outstanding
student from the merely good ones. Most applicants can boast of memberships
in clubs and sports, but the essay is one place where you can set yourself
apart from other students. Be sure you have a parent, teacher, mentor,
employer, etc. read and critique your essay before submitting it. A good
essay should:
- Be typed or neatly printed (at least 12-point type is preferred).
- Use proper grammar and correct spelling.
- Be approximately 1-2 pages in length unless otherwise specified.
- Be creative, but not strange. Don’t be afraid to take a risk, but convey your point.
- Give the scholarship or admissions committee insight into your personality, interests, motivations, values, etc.

| THAT’S RIGHT – NOVEMBER IS HERE!! Have you sent in your applications to the colleges you are considering attending? Wonder why we are asking? Typically, Millard South has about 100 students per year attend UNO. So far only 22 seniors have sent applications to UNO. Some schools use the date your application arrives as the priority date for things such as housing or orientation. The later you apply, the less choices you have. Others have priority dates on scholarships. Missing dates may cost you $ or opportunities for special programs. READ EVERYTHING you get from schools you are considering. |
