Attention Seniors!

noreply@blogger.com (Autumn) — Tue, 10 May 2011 20:16:00 +0000

Seniors & Parents,

The Arkansas Department of Higher Education has stated that they will start making awards for the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship (aka lottery) in the next few weeks. It is very important for students to log into their YOUniversal account at the ADHE web site at least every two weeks. They will need to accept the award once it is offered.

Students who were in college classes this year need to have their college transcript sent to the college they will be attending in the fall. Students can go to the college's web site and find a form to request their transcript. These courses are listed on the high school transcript but colleges will not accept it unless it is an official transcript.

Interested in a Career in the Gas & Oil Industry?

Research cutting edge careers, listen to interviews with people already in working in the field, and click the Resources for Students tab to find scholarships.

noreply@blogger.com (Autumn) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:23:00 +0000

In recognition of the public school mergers and the changes in school district boundaries, and to offer more opportunities for neighboring students, UACCB is offering a new scholarship program called “New Frontier Scholarships.” These scholarships will be awarded to students whose official residence is outside Independence County, but who graduated from or are currently enrolled in a school district whose geographic boundaries include parts of Independence County. Eligible districts include: Cave City/Evening Shade, Concord/Wilburn, Hillcrest (Lynn/River Valley) and Midland. The amount of the scholarship will be the difference between the out-of-district and in-district tuition rates up to a cap of 15 hours per semester and will be available to graduates.

A Call for Empathy and Prayer

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Hoffman) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:12:00 +0000

One of the prominent students on the Yellville-Summit football team, Kymball Duffie, died in a car accident on 9-11. Kymbal was a junior and his younger brother, a freshman, is in Talent Search. His mother is the counselor at Yellville-Summit middle school and I work with her for the ETS program. The school, town, and family are all devastated so I would ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
