Top Ten List Scholarship
There are many scholarships and colleges that want to know the number one thing you want people to know about you. Just one? That's it? "But, I'm amazing," you say. We hear you, and we know that it's tough to narrow down your awesomeness into one measly reason.
So, inspired by David Letterman and his top ten lists, we created the Top Ten List Scholarship. With so many awards based on grades and extracurricular activities, this unique scholarship gives you the chance to show us what's truly special and different about you. Get creative, be serious, or tug at our heartstrings. Whatever you do, you only have ten reasons to convince us, so make each one count.
Need a number one reason to apply? How about the chance to win a $1,500 scholarship? Our Top Ten List Scholarship can only have one winner, so start narrowing down your own list and apply today!

Environment Psychologists in private practice often set their own hours, and many work part time as independent consultants. They may work evenings or weekends to accommodate clients. Those employed in hospitals or other healthcare facilities may also have evening or weekend shifts. Most psychologists in clinics, government, industry, or schools work full-time schedules during regular business hours.

Volunteer Opportunities As UBjectives deadline approaches for everyone we have had students ask the staff about volunteering. For TRIO UB, we do not have any more volunteer opportunities for this semester. However, there are plenty of options all around town! The City of Denton's website has a whole webpage of organizations that have volunteer opportunities. There is even a section where you can fill out a form to be a volunteer for the city. From my knowledge, they will email you volunteer opportunities as they come up. You may also check out the local libraries. They will typically have some options. All you need to do is call them or message them on social media and they will provide you with all the information you need.

Meningitis Shot The meningitis vaccine protects against meningococcal disease, which is a serious bacterial illness. Many colleges and boarding schools require it to protect students living in dorms. As an UB student, you are required to show Eva Silvia proof that you have received this shot.
If you have insurance it is highly recommended that you go to your doctor to get the shot. This would be the cheapest way for you.
If you do not have insurance you have options. You can go to the Denton County Public Health Department, CVS, or Walgreens to get the meningitis shot. However, CVS and Walgreens is pretty expensive - $75 - $150, so we recommend the Public Health Department. It will be a little wait but extremely worth it.
| Documentation If you have already gotten your shot all you will need to do is bring a copy of your shot record to UB. Eva Silvia will look over and make sure everything is okay. This document will then be sent to the colleges you applied for.

TSI Exemptions You need to start looking at getting your TSI scores! If you took the TSI for a dual credit class then you will need to ask your counselors for your scores. If you are exempt from the TSI you will need your ACT/SAT score instead.
The Texas Succes Initiative law requires every college entering student to demonstrate readiness in reading, writing, and math by earning an acceptable score in each area on the TSI Assessment unless you prove an exemption. The following list shows different ways students may qualify as being exempt from the TSI. Please review the exemption options below to see if you qualify.
