"KnowHow2GO" to college!

The 4 Steps to College

 

     College doesn’t just happen – there are specific things students must do to make college possible.  The KnowHow2GO Campaign took the extensive to-do list for college planning and created four simple steps that students can follow – with the help of an adult.

 

  1. Be a pain – in a good way.  Think of adults in your life who can help you with college planning and keep asking until you find someone who will.

 

  1. Push yourself.  Take rigorous coursework in high school and get involved in extracurricular activities.

 

  1. Find the right fit.  Research colleges that match your career interests and skills.

 

  1. Put your hands on some cash.  Apply for scholarships and financial aid.

 

The KnowHow2GO campaign was developed nationally by the American Council on Education, Lumina Foundation for Education and the Ad Council – and in Nebraska by EducationQuest Foundation.  For more information, visit
