Application forms are available at the RHS Students Activities office or by calling the UW-Extension office at 715-365-2750. Application deadline is Nov. 2.

Applications are being accepted for the tuition assistance program at Nicolet College known as Nicolet Promise. Since it began in 2016, the program has allowed more than 150 students to attend college tuition free. “The Nicolet Promise puts college within reach for many recent high school graduates who otherwise may not have been able to attend college,” said Nicolet Director of Enrollment Erika Warning. To be eligible, students must be high school graduates or have earned a GED/HSED between 2016 and 2018, or plan to in 2019, and must be eligible to receive federal Pell grants. Under the program, Nicolet College Foundation will pay the balance of tuition and fees for eligible students after federal and state grants have been applied, up to 15 credits per semester over four fall and spring semesters.
