The Susan Buffett scholarship 2022

For over 50 years, the Susan Buffett Scholarship has provided scholarships to Nebraska college students. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to first-year college freshmen who live in Nebraska, graduate from a Nebraska high school (or GED), intend to attend a Nebraska public college, and demonstrate financial need. Because there are only so many scholarships to go around, the Foundation can’t give money to everyone who wants it.
