Description

The Dr. Jo Brown Educational Scholarship was established in 2021 with the purpose of providing educational opportunities for women over twenty-five with financial need to enable them to become self-supporting and independent, as well as to provide them with a vision of opportunities to create a better life for themselves, their families, and those around them. Applicants must be a former graduate of any high school in the United States or have attained a high school equivalency diploma (GED). Preference will be given to current residents of Lancaster County, Nebraska, although women in broader Nebraska may apply. The applicant must be planning to attend a qualified, accredited 2-year community college or trade school or 4-year college or university. Applicants must show an interest in becoming self-supporting and independent. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lincoln Community Foundation for more information.
