SELECTION PROCESS
A Scholarship Review Committee meets to review and score all applications. Prior to review, copies of each application are made with the applicant's names removed in order to eliminate any bias by members of the committee.
Incomplete applications or applications received after the due date are not considered eligible and are not reviewed/scored.
AWARD ACCEPTANCE
On or before May 10, 2025, all winners will be notified via mail that they have been awarded a scholarship. The notification letter will include instructions on how to accept the award. Each winner will be asked to formally accept the award, affirming their intention to enroll in a Nebraska college or university during the Summer/Fall 2025 academic school year.
AWARD DISBURSEMENT
In order to receive the actual monetary award, the student must send us proof that they have enrolled as a full-time student at a college or university in Nebraska for the Summer or Fall of 2025. Failure to provide proof of enrollment during the specified time frame will void the scholarship.
Upon receipt of proof of enrollment, a check will be sent directly to the financial aid office of the college or university. Under no circumstances will a check be sent directly to a student. The student will be responsible for following up with their financial aid office to verify that the scholarship was applied to their account.
