Twenty-one incoming freshmen have been selected to receive a Multicultural Community Service Scholarship from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
According to Bryan Samuel, the coordinator for Multicultural Recruitment at UNK, award recipients are expected to participate in activities and/or organizations that build a multicultural community.
“This may include participating in organizations that currently exist on campus or creating new organizations, as well as working closely with the Office of Multicultural Affairs,” Samuel said.
To be eligible for the scholarship, students must graduate from a high school within the United States and meet UNK admission requirements. In addition, students must submit an application that describes their involvement in the multicultural community through participation in school and/or community activities. The scholarship pays full tuition and is renewable.
