The Northeast State Foundation administers more than 200 scholarships to help students reach their goals and earn an associate degree or certificate. 

The Sound Bearier sat down with Foundation Chair, Mr. Peter Raber, to talk about making smart financial decisions while earning a college degree. He talks about the Foundation’s drive to help students, minimizing dreaded student debt, and why cultivating your net worth at an early age pays big dividends in the long run.
