Nebraska State College System Sponsors

Inaugural Application Week

Lincoln, Neb. – The Nebraska State College System – Chadron, Peru and Wayne State Colleges – want to ensure that Nebraska is doing everything it can to help students earn a college degree. Applying to college is the first step.

To assist with this step, the Nebraska State College System will be sponsoring the inaugural NSCS College Application Week, Oct. 27-31. Across the state, the NSCS will help high school seniors apply to one or more of the three state colleges: Chadron, Peru and Wayne State. The application fee will be waived for students applying during this week.

The purpose for establishing NSCS College Application Week is six-fold:

To expand college access across the state
To increase the college-going rate
To initiate or culminate the college application process for seniors
To encourage students to complete college applications
To provide awareness to schools and students about the college application process
To celebrate the academic achievements and college aspirations of seniors

NSCS Chancellor Stan Carpenter said, “The overall goal of the inaugural NSCS College Application Week is to provide every graduating high school senior the opportunity to apply to one of the member colleges of the Nebraska State College System. I invite all schools to participate in NSCS College Application Week. All we ask of the high school is time to meet with students and assist them in completing an NSCS application.”
