At Hendrix, we like to think outside the book. We know the search for the right college can be stressful, angst-ridden, and -- let's face it -- no fun.

We've created several widgets that you can download to your desktop to help you during your college search. They are tools intended to help you through your search by helping you

• stay organized
• sharpen your intellect
• boost your hand-eye-click coordination
• and kick back and have some fun

You can download any of these widgets by clicking on the link below and saving the program to your desktop. Once there, you can open them up and use them whenever you need them (or need a break!).

FAFSA Countdown Widget
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (a.k.a. the FAFSA) is often the first step to the financial aid process no matter where you apply to college. Many colleges require you to complete the FAFSA to be eligible for scholarships and other forms of financial aid. Hendrix has a special grant for students who submit the FAFSA before February 15. This widget is designed to help you meet the deadline so you don't miss your chance to receive our $1,000 grant.

Hendrix Trivia Extravaganza
Sharpen your intellect on our trivia challenge. We've scoured the globe (and our campus) for trivia questions that will push your mind to the limits on obscure facts and nuggets of knowledge. It also makes a good study break.

Hendrix Great Puzzle Challenge
Test your hand-eye coordination and mouse dexterity by assembling the puzzle pieces into completed images. Too easy? Then see how fast you can complete them.

Hendrix Admission Decision Countdown
This is a special counter just for admitted applicants to Hendrix to remind them when they need to let us know they've made the happy decision to attend the greatest college on earth (we may be a little biased). Don't miss the chance to use this powerful widget -- you'll need to apply to Hendrix first.

Good luck in your college search. We hope these widgets help you in the process and make it a little bit more fun.
