Student Scholarships

Generous donors to the Lexington Community Foundation have established more than $850,000 in scholarship funds that benefit students in Lexington, Nebraska and Dawson County. 

 

Students must create an account on Academic Works (no paper applications for Local or Lexington Community Foundation scholarships). Please read Regional Scholarship descriptions as some will be through Academic Works and other will have external application links.

To start the application process go to Blackbaud Award Management by clicking HERE

1. Create an account. Use your non-school email.

2. Complete all information pertaining to high school (not collegiate).

3. You must have an answer with those items with an asterisks (*).

4. Current student status is “I am currently a High School senior.”

5. High School students are required to have two (2) recommenders. Enter EMAIL information for the recommenders who are teachers or from outside the school who is not a relative of the family. Please read the scholarship description as specifics to this requirement can be found there.
