Scholarships

The Nebraska Independent College Foundation has administered scholarship programs for several major corporations and foundations in Nebraska since 1962. NICF's scholarship programs allow businesses and foundations to award scholarships to students attending Nebraska's independent, non-tax-supported colleges without becoming involved in the actual student selection process. NICF handles all the administrative work, including correspondence, follow-up, evaluation, notification and payment. In addition, NICF also prepares a report for presentation to each scholarship donor giving a brief biographical history of each recipient, along with a picture of the student and personal thank you note from the student to the donor.

Each scholarship donor determines selection guidelines, including amounts of awards, participating colleges, criteria for selection and renewal procedures.

If you have an interest in establishing a named scholarship program, or if you are currently administering a program internally and wish to make a change, we will be pleased to discuss this matter with you.
