Great Plains College Entrance Scholarships

Great Plains College is proud to be able to offer a significant number of entrance merit scholarships thanks to the generosity of our donors. Over $175,000 in entrance merit scholarships were awarded in 2010-11.

Scholarship funding at our campuses encourages students to pursue post-secondary education through Great Plains College. These students will move to or remain in our communities while receiving their education and have a greater chance of remaining and contributing to the area once their studies are complete.
