June Scholarship Deadlines
Southeast Community College (SCC) and Lincoln's high schools announced that they are partnering with Union Bank & Trust and Nelnet to offer a scholarship program for low-income Lincoln youth to attend SCC. With funding from Union Bank & Trust and Nelnet, the innovative Learn to Dream Scholarship program pays tuition and fees for up to 45-quarter credits at SCC for eligible students. All Lincoln high school students who qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch (as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) are eligible for the scholarship.
The Learn to Dream Scholarship program has the potential to make college possible for nearly 600 students each year in our community. Through the program, students will be able to attend SCC for approximately one year of classes without having to pay for tuition and fees. The program will be offered to eligible students who graduate from one of Lincoln's public, private or parochial high schools on or after January 1, 2008. To encourage participation, Nelnet and Union Bank & Trust will work closely with the Lincoln schools and community organizations to promote the scholarship program to parents and students as early as the 8th grade to provide an incentive to students to plan and prepare for post-secondary education.
