Description

Evelyn Reid established this scholarship in 2017 for high school seniors interested in pursuing a career in education or the medical field. Evelyn was diagnosed in 2015 with cancer. Through the course of her treatments, she was so grateful for the many kind and skilled medical staff who attended to her throughout her five years of battling cancer. In addition, she was so appreciative to have incredible teachers in school, a son-in-law in public education administration, and a granddaughter who is now an English teacher. Thus, the reason for her interest to create this scholarship fund for future educators and medical professionals. Before Evelyn died in 2020, she was so pleased to see her scholarship awarded to support students pursuing an area of interest she felt very close to her heart. Applicants must be a current high school senior of Malcolm Public Schools in Malcolm, NE; Waverly Public Schools in Waverly, NE; Raymond Public Schools in Raymond, NE; or Norris Public Schools in Hickman, NE. Preference shall be given to high school seniors from Malcolm, NE and those pursuing a nursing or medically-related career or teaching or education-related career. Applicants must be planning to attend a two- or four-year college with a preference for applicants who attend college in Nebraska. Former recipients who received this scholarship as a high school senior are eligible to reapply the following year by submitting a full application. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lincoln Community Foundation for more information.
