The University of Montevallo continues to offer its assistance in prepping students for the ACT exam! Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are invited to join us for our upcoming annual multi-day ACT PREP CAMP!  This course goes even more in depth than our one-day session and will prepare your students to strategize their approach while studying and during testing.  May we request that you share this opportunity on your campus and with students and parents?

Also, UM will provide scholarships to those who need financial assistance.  If you have students that qualify for free or reduced lunches, we will reduce the prep course fee by 20%.
