LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF ’77 SCHOLARSHIP

LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF ’77 SCHOLARSHIP

DESCRIPTION
The Lexington High School Class of 1977 has established a scholarship in memory of our classmates. Our reunion committee had always wondered what to do when one of our classmates passed away. We decided each of us would be responsible for our own memorial gifts by donating money to the Lexington Community Foundation for the benefit of the Class of 1977 Scholarship Fund. This was all voluntary, no set amount was given and we had donations from $10 to $200. We hope to keep our fund endowed by encouraging future donations directed to the Class of 1977 Scholarship Fund.

The Lexington Community Foundation administers the $500 annual scholarship to be awarded to a Lexington High School senior who enrolls in any university, college, or technical school in Nebraska.

QUALIFICATIONS
Consideration for the scholarship will be given to any graduating senior who shows qualities of good character, leadership, academic achievement, financial need, has participated in extra-curricular and community activities, AND has at least one parent or sibling who is a graduate of Lexington High School or St. Ann’s High School.

AWARD AMOUNT
$500

AWARD DISBURSEMENT
Funds will be sent to the Office of Financial Aid and the student’s school of choice. Additional requirements may be needed for payment.
