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.

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.
