Students entering Nebraska and Iowa Western Community Colleges to study high-skill, high-wage, high-demand “STEM” courses (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) are eligible to apply for a newly announced, statewide Aksarben Foundation Scholarship.
“Aksarben has been awarding scholarships to hard-working students for decades,” said Sandra Reding, president of the Aksarben Foundation. “What makes this scholarship special is that we are awarding $50,000 each to five of the greater Nebraska Community Colleges and $25,000 to Iowa Western Community College, intentionally tying these scholarships to the InternNE, Powered by Aksarben statewide internship program. Each student selected for this scholarship will also be among the growing talent pool businesses can access statewide to select interns.”
