Please also note:
A: If you have not met with your counselor about your college applications, please do so! They may have information they need to complete for you & we would hate for you to miss a deadline because there was no communication with your counselor.
B. You will need to fill out a yellow sheet (available in the Counseling Center) for every college you're applying to, even if you've already been accepted.
C: If you need any teacher letters of recommendation, it is highly recommended that you tell your teachers their letters are due two weeks prior to YOUR deadline ESPECIALLY if you have Early Action/Early Decision deadlines.
D: If you need a Mid-Year transcript, please notify Mrs. Meier either in person or by email: ccmeier@mpsomaha.org
If you have any questions or need any help with the college application process, come see Chelsea Meier in the Counseling Center!

NORTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Northeast Community College would like to invite the TRIO College Success Program.
Please feel free to share with and/or refer students that you know are planning to attend Northeast this fall.
TRIO-CSP is an academic assistance program funded through TRIO grants by the U.S. Department of Education, as well as through institutional funding. The program is designed for income-eligible, first-generation college students, or students with a disability. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with their TRIO-CSP advisor once a month. Participants are also encouraged to participate in one of the various program activities offered each month, at no cost to the student. As students navigate the demands of college and gain more independence with the responsibility of college life, they will be offered personal and academic support. We provide assistance with meeting college requirements and support to motivate them towards the successful completion of their postsecondary education. Students participate in the TRIO-CSP program throughout their enrollment at Northeast.
Eligibility
To qualify for services, a student must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States, be registered at Northeast, and meet at least one of the following criteria:
· First-Generation: An individual whose parents have not completed a four-year degree.
· Income-Eligible: Household taxable income meets TRIO-CSP guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Education.
· Student with a Disability: An individual with a documented learning, physical or emotional disability. Documentation must be submitted to the Northeast Disability Services Office.
APPLICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE COUNSELING OFFICE
UNO has dropped their $45 application fee.

YMCA of Greater Omaha-Employee Benefit
We just wanted to share an amazing new benefit The YMCA has for all their YMCA of Greater Omaha employees that started this semester. They now have two fantastic partnerships with Creighton University and Clarkson College, employees and their dependents will now receive a discount on tuition. At Creighton University, students would receive 40% off their tuition rate as an employee in good standing at the YMCA of Greater Omaha, at Clarkson College students would receive 30% off their tuition rate.
If you a student/parent would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact the YMCA directly. College is expensive and the YMCA wants to make sure students know there are options for a flexible job with flexible schedules as well as help on those tuition bills – win/win!
