Learn to Dream: Making College Possible

This Scholarship provides every qualifying student graduating from a Lincoln public, parochial or private school the opportunity to attend college. Eligible students can attend SCC’s Beatrice, Lincoln or Milford campuses.

After I received the scholarship, I shifted gears and was able to go to school full-time while working part-time. It really helped me get a nice jump toward graduating.

Christian J., Lincoln North Star

I can help my parents with the mortgage, and it’s all because of the scholarship. If money is a worry, start here. Make it your goal to come to college.

Jessica J., Lincoln North Star

College has always been a given for me, but the Learn to Dream Scholarship definitely made it easier so I can focus on school.
