High school juniors and seniors, who are Cherokee Nation citizens, can participate in free prep classes in advance of the December ACT exam. The classes, to be held in Sallisaw and in Muskogee and provided by Cherokee Nation Foundation, begin the last week of October and conclude with the National ACT exam on Dec. 12.
"This is by far one of the most important things we do here at the foundation," said Janice Randall, Cherokee Nation Foundation executive director. "We work with each student to prepare them for the test and help them get into the university of their choice. A high score can drastically impact where they can attend and the financial resources available to help them succeed."
The six-week course is offered at Carl Albert State College in Sallisaw and Indian Capital Technology Center in Muskogee. Curriculum includes interactive instruction by a Princeton Review instructor and three practice tests.
In previous year, students have increased their scores by an average of 3.5 points, and some individual scores have increased by as much as 10 points.
Students interested in the course can pick up registration forms from their high school guidance counselors or call the foundation at 918-207-0950. The deadline to enroll is Oct. 20.
In Sallisaw the classes will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Mondays at the Carl Albert State College-Sallisaw Campus at 1601 Opdyke St.
In Muskogee the classes will be held from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m on Tuesdays at the Indian Capital Technology Center, 2403 N 41 St. East.
