For the second year in a row, Fairbury Public Schools was awarded the 8th Grade Visit Grant through EducationQuest Foundation. A $500 grant is awarded to participating schools to assist in funding a college visit to the school of their choice. Fairbury Public Schools chose Southeast Community College for the second year partly due to proximity but also to get some exposure to a smaller college campus for their first visit. The trip to SCC included information on financial aid, KnowHowToGo to College information, a campus tour of all the departments, as well as tour of the Ag Facility. They were able to see how drones were used by the ag department as well as some real livestock. It was a great experience for these students.
