NSHSF WWII Scholarship and Pearl Harbor Award - January 26, 2018
The Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation has the privilege of administering the Nebraskans of World War II Scholarship and the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Award. Both the Scholarship and Award are made available to qualifying seniors from high schools which encompass the hometowns of the twenty-two Nebraska sailors who died at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and remain entombed on the USS Arizona. In an effort to maximize available funds and provide a simpler process, we are awarding both the Nebraskans of World War II Scholarships and the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Awards within the same process.
For the 2017-18 school year, the Nebraskans of World War II Scholarship Fund will award up to four (4) $2,000 scholarships. The Pearl Harbor Remembrance Award Fund will award up to two (2) $600 awards to students who apply for but do not receive a Nebraskans of World War II Scholarship.
Qualifications for the Scholarship and Award are the same and are listed on the attached WWII Scholarship application form and brochure. Consideration for both the Scholarship and Award will be given to students who have a direct tie to World War II. Your school is eligible to return no more than two (2) scholarship applications for consideration. Applications must be sent electronically to the Foundation at lheaton@nshsf.org by January 26, 2018. Incomplete submissions cannot be considered. The Scholarship Committee will review the nominations and make their selections no later than March 15, 2018. Winners will be notified by April 1, 2018.
The Foundation is pleased to make these scholarships and awards available as a tribute to the many Nebraskans who served their country during World War II. The sacrifices of these brave men and women made it possible for our students to grow up with the freedom they enjoy today.
