Fairbury junior and senior students have been busy during the months of September and October in taking advantage of the grant they received from EducationQuest for exposure to college access activities. On September 21st, the senior class visited Southeast Community College in Lincoln and were able to see many of the programs of study they offered, toured the campus, and even were able to eat lunch at the college cafeteria. The seniors were also able to visit The University of Nebraska-Lincoln on October 5th along with a few other schools for a special College Access Day specifically set up for recipients of the College Access Grant. During this visit, the students toured the campus, attended a college major fair, , learned about financial aid, heard from current UNL students and were able to eat lunch at one of the campus cafeteriaś. So far this fall, the juniors at Fairbury Jr-Sr High School have visited Peru State College on September 29th and will be visit Nebraska Wesleyan University in the spring some time. At Peru, the juniors heard from the athletics department, admissions, TRIO coordinator, about financial aid and were also given a tour of campus. They ended the day by getting to eat lunch in the campus cafeteria.
These visits have been beneficial and very important in the college planning process for our students.
