EducationQuest Foundation's College Access Grants program provides funding to Nebraska high schools to develop or enhance existing college access activities. The program's goal is to increase the number of students who continue their education beyond high school.

Participating high schools use the grant to implement programs and activities that increase the school's college-going rate. Each school is allowed to develop a college access program appropriate for its students, but the program must include specific activities that have been shown to increase access to higher education.

View our College Access Nebraska publication to learn some of the innovative ways Nebraska high schools are helping students prepare for college.
