Annual Scholarships

Annual scholarships are awarded to students on a yearly basis.

A minimum amount is required to establish a scholarship in your name. Contact the Northeast Community College Foundation to learn more.

Endowed Scholarships

Endowed scholarships create a permanent fund in which contributions are invested to ensure the scholarship retains its value in perpetuity. Scholarships are awarded from the interest accrued while the principal is never touched.

A minimum of $25,000 is required to establish an endowed scholarship, which will generate one $1,000 scholarship annually. Incorporating endowed scholarships into estate planning is a significant way to help students achieve their dreams and leave a legacy.

If you are interested in establishing a scholarship or contributing to an existing scholarship fund, please call (402) 844-7240 or email foundation@northeast.edu. Foundation staff will work directly with you to structure your scholarship agreement to include eligibility criteria that you would like for your fund.

If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please visit the Scholarships page on our website or call our Financial Aid Office at (402) 844-7285.

Northeast Impact

Thank you to the Norman Oschner Ag Scholarship committee for supporting and believing in me the last two years at Northeast Community College. I can’t explain the impact it has had on me enough. Receiving this scholarship allowed me to spend less time working before and after my classes to pay off my schooling and other expenses and spend more time focusing on my studies and other extracurriculars.

To the donors who made these scholarships possible—thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Your support is not just financial; it’s an investment in my future. It means more than I can express, and I’m motivated to make the most of this opportunity every day. I hope one day I can pay it forward and help someone else just like you’ve helped me.

This financial support has taken away the stress of paying for tuition, allowing me to focus on my education and being a mother. Your kindness has inspired me to do my best, and I am determined to make the most of this opportunity. I want you to know that I am working hard to succeed, not only for myself but to honor the investment you’ve made for my future. I hope to give back one day, helping others just as you have helped me pursue my goals. Thank you for your support.

I want to thank the donors for what they have helped provide to me and others. I earned the Paul R. Rohrke Memorial Scholarship. Without this scholarship college may not have been financially possible. Thank you to the Northeast instructors for their guidance and understanding.

I was honored to be awarded scholarships. It means so much to me and my family that organizations and families help students with school. Any sort of financial aid is always so appreciated. I know all recipients including myself are very grateful. Scholarships have definitely helped my journey at Northeast.

Without the help of the College Access Scholarship, TRIO, and Northeast I would not have been blessed with the opportunity to further my education for a better future.
