“We Want You!” Promotion Makes Going Back to College Easier

North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) is making it easier for adults to go back to college by offering scholarships to help pay their expenses. These new scholarships are available to adults who want or need a fresh start with an education.
“If you’ve been thinking about going back to school or even just updating your skills, now is the time,” said NIACC Admissions Director Rachel McGuire. “This is perfect timing for adults who have lost a job, need more skills or those who wants to move up in their field. There are a lot of people who started college but for whatever reason never finished. We want those people to come to NIACC. There is a national challenge by President Obama to have more college graduates by 2020. We want to help people complete a credential. Whether it is a certificate, diploma or degree, a student can have part of their schooling paid for to get them started. Studies have shown that most future jobs will require some sort of education. Now is the time to get started working on that.”
If you’re at least 23 years-old and haven’t taken a NIACC credit class in the past three years, you’re eligible for the scholarships. Scholarship amounts are based on the number of credits needed to complete a certificate, diploma or degree and range from $68 to $750. The scholarship amount will be determined once your academic plan is put together. All you have to do is attend an informational “We Want You” session on one of these dates:
ï July 7 at 4:00 p.m.
ï July 18 at 9:00 a.m.
ï August 5 at Noon
ï August 19 at 8:00 a.m.
This “We Want You” session will help you learn more about going back to school, ways to finance your education and the types of classes, such as online classes, you can take.
For more information, call 1-888-GO NIACC ext. 4258 and ask for Chris Frenz to sign up.
NIACC’s fall semester begins August 29.
