We are from Nebraska and trust me he has Lincoln and Omaha on his list!
I think his full list is
LSU
Iowa
Iowa State
Kansas State
TCU (I know not a state school but looking just because he goes to a private school currently)
NE-Lincoln (home state)
NE-Omaha (home state/home city)

He is trying to stay away from Lincoln and Omaha though. He loves the huskers but he’s never really been interested in the schools. His first choice has been LSU for a couple years now and I don’t think he is going to change his mind. He shows me the campus videos all the time and he’s always looking information up about it and he’s really committed to doing anything he can to get there.
Nebraska has a company called Education Quest. Education Quest helps parents and students fill out their FAFSA applications. They also offer a program called scholarship quest that offers scholarships to Nebraska students only. I told him trying to get into schools out of state would be difficult because of the increase in tuitions but he is looking up scholarships to get since the site is so unknown. We learned about this site at a college fair. They said out of all the teenagers in Nebraska the site only averages about 1,000 students actually applying for hundreds of Nebraska based scholarships each year.
