A quality college education changes lives every day, opening doors to promising careers and fulfilling experiences that might otherwise not be possible. Southeast Community College covers 15-counties in Nebraska, and the dream of a college education becomes a reality through their exciting Learn to Dream Scholarship.

The Learn To Dream scholarship was established here at Norris to create a needs-and merit-based opportunity for high school students graduating from Norris to attend SCC in Beatrice, Lincoln or Milford. The winners this year have taken challenging Norris courses that will prepare them to become successful SCC students through Career Concentration and Career Academy experiences.

The SCC Learn To Dream Scholarships have been funded through the FFA Boosters Learning Lab and the Norris Foundation, and through the generous donations of Norris patron and partner Jacque Berniklau of Berniklau Ed Solutions Team.

These are very significant monetary rewards: Learn to Dream pays for up to 45 credit hours over two years, or around $2,550 of tuition at Southeast Community College in Lincoln, Beatrice or Milford.

Congratulations to Devin Fairbanks, Tyler Fairbanks, Tyler McAlexander, Kaeden Schlake, and Billy Williams, this year’s Norris 2016 grads who are winners of the Learn To Dream Scholarships. Thank you to the Norris Foundation, Norris FFA Boosters, and Jacque Berniklau for funding this substantial award.
