P/T Conferences and Financial Aid Presentation - Sept. 19th

Chadron High School Counseling Office will host its annual College Financial Aid Presentation and Fall Meeting on Thursday, September 19th at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Auditorium in conjunction with parent-teacher conferences.  This meeting will include information regarding Financial aid, the college application process, scholarship hunting, and the FAFSA.  Chadron High School will be partnering with Andrew Hunzeker from EducationQuest to provide parents with the most up-to-date information regarding the college process.  


Senior students who attend an EducationQuest Financial Aid Program (FAP) will be eligible to register for a $500 scholarship.  EducationQuest will randomly select six student winners on or around December 1, 2024.
To be eligible, a student must:
  • be a U.S. citizen or legal resident
  • be a junior or senior attending a Nebraska high school
  • attend an EducationQuest Financial Aid Program before December 1, 2024 (parents/guardians may attend on their student’s behalf)
  • complete an online scholarship entry form (details provided at the FAP)
EducationQuest will deposit the $500 scholarships into the winners’ NEST 529 College Savings Plan account. Winners who do not have an account will need to set one up.

Andrew will also be BACK to set up one-on-one FAFSA appointments with any 12th-grade parent interested when the FAFSA opens up in December - more information to come on these appointments.

We look forward to talking to both students and parents on Thursday night during parent-teacher conferences!
