The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Panhandle Research, Extension and Education Center Scholarship benefited from this year’s UNL Glow Big Red 2025 fundraiser. With help from generous donors, the Center raised more than $900 for its annual student scholarship.
“This level of support from our community demonstrates the importance of this scholarship fund,” said Dr. John Westra, Director of the Panhandle Research, Extension and Education Center (REEC). “We are extremely grateful for the support of our student scholars in the Panhandle.”
