NSCS Month is good news for high school seniors
(Lincoln, Neb.) -- Gov. Dave Heineman has proclaimed the month of October as Nebraska State College System Month and encouraged students and their parents to visit Chadron State, Peru State or Wayne State College.
Presenting the proclamation, Heineman said, “It is important for high school graduates to continue their education and one of the first steps in pursuing an education is to schedule a college visit. Today, students need more than a high school diploma and the State Colleges at Chadron, Peru and Wayne provide a wide-range of degree options.”
NSCS Chancellor Stan Carpenter said, “Chadron, Peru and Wayne State are colleges of opportunity and provide students a high quality and affordable educational experience. Faculty and staff are committed to engaging students in a personal college experience that helps them achieve their goals and aspirations.”
NSCS Board of Trustees Chairman Carter “Cap” Peterson understands how important it is for students to find a college that is right for them. He said, “This is an important time of year for high school seniors as they consider their options following graduation. Now is when they need to visit colleges, take campus tours and submit applications. The Nebraska State Colleges provide state of the art facilities, quality faculty, and an outstanding education for their students – all at an incredible value.”
During October, NSCS admissions staff will visit Nebraska high schools to assist students with the application process for the Nebraska State College System. Students and parents are encouraged to check with their school counselors regarding the scheduled visits.
Students who take a campus tour in October and apply for admission at Chadron, Peru or Wayne for Fall semester 2013 will be eligible to win a new iPad (one at each college). Students who visit one of the State Colleges, take a campus tour during October and subsequently enroll in the Fall 2013 will also be eligible for an $800 bookstore gift certificate – one at each college.
