Description

The Charles F. and Carol A. van Rossum Scholarship was established in 2017 to help individuals of all ages continue their education. Chuck was born in Indonesia of Dutch ancestry and Carol in rural Illinois. Education and community involvement were important to Chuck and continue to be for Carol. Being able to give someone a small boost to furthering their educational goal is a tribute to the years Chuck spent as a student and as an educator at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln and Omaha. Chuck passed away in December 2014. This fund serves as a partner fund to the Lincoln Community Foundation Student Success Scholarship Fund in which award amounts from many scholarship funds are pooled to create meaningful, renewable awards for Lancaster County students. Applicants must be current graduating high school seniors or former graduates of public or private high schools in Lancaster County, NE or GED graduates residing in Lancaster County, NE. They must be planning to attend an accredited, two-year or four-year nonprofit college or university, with a preference for those attending institutions within the state of Nebraska. Financial need may be considered. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lincoln Community Foundation for more information.
