The Nebraska State College System Advantage guarantees that first-time freshmen students who receive federal Pell grants will pay no tuition at Chadron, Peru and Wayne State Colleges for the 2009-10 academic year. The NSCS Advantage offers a new way for the Nebraska State College System to serve students, area communities and the state of Nebraska.
The NSCS Advantage is a pilot program for new freshmen students enrolling for the 2009-10 academic year at the three state colleges. Participants in this Program must be:
-
A Nebraska Resident
-
A federal Pell Grant recipient
-
A new first-time freshman for the 2009-10 year
-
Enrolled in at least 12 on-campus credit hours
The award is limited to a maximum of 16 credit hours per semester. Additional limitations are in place for the award of any remissions for online courses taken in addition to the 12 on-campus credit hours. The award is not available for transfer students.
For Pell recipients, the program will provide the difference between the cost of tuition and the amount of all other awards. Other awards include Pell, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Nebraska Scholarship Grant (NSG), Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), institutional waivers, foundation scholarship assistance and other awards.
Continuation in the program requires the recipient to receive a federal Pell Grant every semester and to remain enrolled in at least 12 on-campus credit hours at one of the Nebraska State Colleges.
