If you're an incoming college freshman and haven't yet registered for orientation, contact your college admissions office for registration information.

If you would like to attend college this fall and haven't yet applied, it's not too late! Contact the EducationQuest location nearest you to make an appointment.

We recently selected 15 Nebraskans to receive Reaching Your Potential scholarships. Because we haven't finalized their paperwork, we can't yet announce their names, but will include them in the next E-News. The 15 students will share approximately $63,000 in scholarship funds annually. Thanks to those of you who referred applicants to the program. We will award another set of scholarships next fall.

If you have questions about Reaching Your Potential, contact Lisa Mueller at 800-303-3745, ext. 6606 or email lisam@educationquest.org.
