Take advantage of free time over the holidays to do some prep work for college. Here are a few things you can do!

Seniors, complete your FAFSA

Juniors, prepare for the ACT
All Nebraska high school juniors will take the ACT college entrance exam this spring. Here’s a list of resources to help you prepare.

Search for scholarships
Use our free ScholarshipQuest tool to find Nebraska-based awards. You’ll also find links to national scholarship sites.

Update your Activities Resume
Our free Activities Resume is an easy way to track your extracurricular activities, accomplishments, volunteer work, and part-time jobs. The information is then readily available when you apply for scholarships and employment.

Volunteer
In addition to giving back to your community, your volunteer work can lead to scholarship opportunities. Make sure you track your involvement on your Activities Resume.
