MASON CITY – Since 2006, North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) has been providing adult students with an opportunity to return to college at no cost. It’s a unique makeover that changes lives.

Extreme Makeover: College Edition is a contest where two lucky winners receive an entire year of free tuition, textbooks and more. “This is an amazing way to makeover your life with a new education,” said Rachel McGuire, Director of Enrollment Services.

Aimee Mussman of Mason City, a 2014-15 winner, said this contest changed her life. Mussman came to NIACC to earn her High School Equivalency Degree (HSED), which led her to apply for the Extreme Makeover contest. “I am currently enrolled full-time and plan to earn my diploma in Early Childhood Education,” she said. “I couldn’t have done it without NIACC and the Extreme Makeover contest.”

Cara Heiselman of Charles City was the other 2014-15 winner. She said, “Winning the Extreme Makeover has been such an amazing experience. It has given me the opportunity to be a full time student and get a jump start towards my degree. I am very grateful to have been given such a great opportunity here at NIACC.”

The other three finalists each received a $1,000 scholarship as part of the contest. They are Jody Clutter of Mason City, Amber Lawler of Rockford and Dennis Payne of Manly.

To enter this year’s contest, simply write and submit a brief 250-word essay telling why your life needs or deserves an educational makeover. Also, three finalists will win a $1,000 scholarship to NIACC for the 2015-2016 academic year. 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 Extreme Makeover: College Edition. For more contest rules and to enter Extreme Makeover: College Edition, call 1-888-GO NIACC or visit our web site for details: www.niacc.edu/admissions/extreme-makeover.
