NASE Gives $72,000 In College Scholarships

This year the NASE awarded a $4,000 scholarship to 18 deserving dependents of NASE Members. These students can use their scholarships to study any subject at the college of their choice.

The scholarship funds couldn’t come at a better time. The National Association for College Admission Counseling reports that 70 percent of high schools saw more students forgoing their dream schools this year.

“There’s no doubt that families are feeling the financial squeeze and they’re cutting back on college plans,” says NASE President Robert Hughes. “That makes our scholarships more important than ever. I’m proud we can help these students achieve their dreams.”
