The Jennings B. and Beulah G. Haggerty Scholarship was established in 1996. Despite never finishing school and experiencing a very tough life in his early years, the late William Jennings Bryan Haggerty was a successful businessman in the Lincoln community. This fund serves as a partner fund to the Lincoln Community Foundation Student Success Scholarship Fund, in which award amounts from many scholarship funds are pooled to create meaningful, renewable awards for Lancaster County students. Recipients must be current graduating high school seniors or former graduates of public or private high schools in Lancaster County, Nebraska or GED graduates residing in Lancaster County, Nebraska; planning to attend an accredited, two-year or four-year nonprofit college or university with a preference for those attending institutions within the state of Nebraska. Financial need may be considered. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Lincoln Community Foundation for more information.
