In creating a scholarship, you invest in your community's future and show students you care. The Lincoln Community Foundation provides the expertise to help you meet your personal goals and awards scholarships to deserving students. Your gift can help students achieve their lifetime dreams.

You can create a scholarship as a memorial to someone special. Or, you may use it to express your educational values – or those of your family or business. Depending on your preferences, the scholarship you establish can support any area of academic need, including tuition, room and board, and books. Our staff tracks performance to ensure students continue to meet the terms for scholarship support.

Example Story
Valuing education.
A couple years into a comfortable retirement, Nancy and Don, both former teachers, realized how much they missed making a difference in the lives of students. For both of them, education was not only a profession – it was a calling. Looking for a way to stay involved, Nancy and Don started a scholarship with the Lincoln Community Foundation. They wanted scholarships made in their name to benefit students interested in becoming teachers. The Foundation helped Nancy and Don create their legacy. The Lincoln Community Foundation does all the administrative work involved in determining the most deserving students. Over the past three years, their education fund has provided six scholarships to the next generation of teachers.
