Elva Ray Carter Memorial Scholarship
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.
To apply, tell us about yourself and who inspired you to further your education. Additionally, upload a photo of yourself and a photo with the person related to your essay.
Please share a little bit about yourself and who inspired you to further your education.
