Description

The Kelly Erisman Memorial Scholarship was established in 2019 by her spouse, Kara Kugler-Wright. Kelly was a native Lincolnite who attended Lincoln Southeast High School and went on to play softball at the collegiate level for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Throughout her life she owned and operated many bars that were inclusive to all guests and provided a welcoming atmosphere. She was known for her fun sense of humor and a source for advice because she was fair and nonjudgmental. Some of her hobbies included scuba diving, technology, graphic design, music, and a drive for adventure. Applicants must be students attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and must have maintained the required high school or college GPA or above. Applicants must have demonstrated support of the LGBTQAA+ community through active participation in school, community, or campus involvement. Preference may be given to students who demonstrate financial need or those who are members of a UNL intercollegiate athletics team. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lincoln Community Foundation for more information.
