The Nebraska Public Leadership Foundation (NPLF) has created a scholarship program for high school seniors who are pursuing higher education to become a teacher in a Nebraska public school system.  In thousands of classrooms across Nebraska, teachers lead our students to discover new and important facts and ideas, the steppingstones that shape their future.  NPLF supports the students who want to give to the overall mission of success for every student in Nebraska.

This past spring, the Foundation provided two, $1,000 scholarships to Lauren Schooveld of Mullen Public Schools and Harrison Sjuts of Doniphan-Trumbull Public Schools.  Lauren is enrolled at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and is pursuing her degree in Elementary Education.  Harrison is enrolled at Doane University and is pursuing his degree in Elementary Education with an additional endorsement in either Special Education or Middle-Level Science.

Please consider helping today's student leaders become tomorrow's education leaders by donating to the NPLF Student Scholarship Program at www.nepublicleadership.org.
