Scholarships
There is a scholarship opportunity for students taking dual-enrollment college courses. Students participating in dual-enrollment col-
lege courses or early admit programs, are encouraged to apply or the Access College Early (ACE) Scholarship if they show financial
need. This state and federally-funded scholarship will pay tuition and mandatory fees at participating Nebraska colleges. Applica-
tions will be reviewed by Nebraska’s Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education (CCPE). If you have questions, contact
myself or Ritchie Morrow, Financial Aid Coordinator, CCPE, [email protected] or 402.471.0032.
For local and state scholarships, visit Scholarship Quest at EducationQuest.org. It is never too early to begin searching for scholar-
ships as well as making your list of strengths, volunteer activities, and other notable characteristics about yourself.
Prepare for the FAFSA with free programs and resources
If you’re a senior, it’s time to start preparing for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). You’ll complete the form
after October 1 and typically, before April 1 depending on your college’s priority deadline. Colleges will use your FAFSA results to
determine how much they will award you in federal, state and college-based financial aid.
