Nebraska Bankers Association Foundation Scholarships

Up to ten scholarships are awarded each year to Nebraska students enrolled at state or privately funded Nebraska colleges and universities (excludes the University of Nebraska system). The scholarship amount is $2,500.

One of the primary goals of the NBA Foundation is to award scholarships to college and university students pursuing a bachelor's degree who have an interest in banking. The NBAF intends for its scholarships to be used both as recruitment and retention incentives for said students. Through these scholarships, the NBAF hopes to strengthen the banking industry in Nebraska.
