Gateway to College

What is Gateway to College?

Gateway to College is a nationally recognized scholarship and dual-credit high school diploma completion program. The program serves students ages 16-20 years of age who would like an educational setting that is individually tailored for student success. Students earn their high school diploma while progressing toward a college certificate or associate degree. Interested students participate in an application, admission and orientation process.

Gateway to College is for Students Who:

  • Are 16-20 years old
  • Read at an appropriate level
  • Want a different educational setting
  • Are ready to earn college credit
  • Are ready to earn a high school diploma, not a GED
  • Are able to complete their high school diploma by age 21
  • Are approved by previous high school

WHY GATEWAY TO COLLEGE?

Gateway to College students learn how to succeed in a college setting under the guidance of an attentive team of instructors and student resources specialists. The resources specialists help students navigate the college experience - everything from teaching students about goal setting and careers to providing referrals to community resources. During the first quarter, students learn in a small community of peers at the MCC Fort Omaha Campus while completing English, math and career classes.
