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.
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.
College has always been a given for me, but the Learn to Dream Scholarship definitely made it easier so I can focus on school.
Other benefits:
The scholarship does more than just offer tuition assistance, it also provides information about succeeding in college and beyond. Learn to Dream advisors and others at SCC are available to assist you with personal support including:
- Establishing educational goals and plans
- Career exploration
- Advising and registration
- Time management skills
- Money management skills
- Study skills
- Transfer advising
- Tutoring
