Wayne State College along with the Nebraska State College System is providing financial waivers for new and returning students impacted by the recent flood. Waivers are based on need and availability.
The devastation caused by the recent flooding and blizzard will have far-reaching impacts on a number of Wayne State College and other state college students.

Financial waivers are available for new and returning students. The waivers will be based on need and availability. Wayne State College students and families interested in receiving a 2019 Disaster Relief Tuition Waiver can get more information here:

As always, there is no application fee to apply to Wayne State.

As partners to the rural communities they serve, Wayne State and the other state colleges have already initiated temporary housing, meal options, and other needs to support current students, staff members, and community members who are in need due to the storms.
The challenges caused by the flooding will affect many of our communities and students for quite some time, but Wayne State College and the Nebraska State Colleges will continue to support its students and neighbors.
“The State Colleges will continue to be a community partner with and provide volunteer opportunities to for students to help rebuild the affected communities and keep Nebraska strong,” said Gary Bieganski, Chair of the NSCS Board of Trustees.
