About the Event
EducationQuest Foundation’s College Access Symposium is Thursday, April 3 at The Cornhusker Marriott Hotel in Lincoln. The purpose of this free event is to share college-access best practices. The Symposium will feature general sessions and break-out sessions tailored to middle school, high school and community agency professionals. Nebraska high schools interested in applying for an EducationQuest College Access Grant are required to send a representative to the Symposium. We invite you to attend and learn how to make college possible for more Nebraska students.
