Who Can Apply:
- Elva Ray Carter was a beloved godmother who passed away too soon but who believed firmly in the importance of education, a conviction she helped instill in others.
- Education is something that is extremely valuable but that is starting to be underappreciated and less incentivized as some question the value of a degree and the quality of education available. Broadening one’s mind is always a useful pursuit, both in terms of the personal value it brings as well as the professional opportunities it unlocks.
- This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Elva Ray Carter by supporting students who are furthering their education after being inspired.
- Any BIPOC high school senior in Nebraska who has at least a 3.0 GPA may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
