The scholarship is now open and will be closed on March 20th.
The Juan N. Franco Legacy Scholarship, formerly known as the Hope for the Future Scholarship, was created in the Fall of 2016. Students who led the creation of the scholarship believed in the importance of quality higher education. Through education, students are given the opportunity to become productive and informed members of our community. Unfortunately, many undocumented and DACAmented students are unable to access state and federal financial aid that makes a university education an option for many families. As a result, members of the Define American Chapter at UNL, with the great help of Dr. Juan Franco, whom he may rest in peace, worked to make this scholarship a reality.
The qualifications for the scholarships:
• Not qualified for financial aid
• High school GPA of 2.5 or higher
• College GPA of 2.5 or higher
• Must be enrolled or plan to enroll at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Tuesday, February 21st from 5:30-6:30pm in the Swanson Auditorium in the Union (and via Zoom)
It is a truism that we live in a deeply polarized time and that white supremacy is gaining strength worldwide. Margaret Jacobs, Charles Mach Professor in the Department of History and director of the Center for Great Plains Studies, will explore a quiet but powerful counter current that flows just beneath the jagged surface of our divisive times. Her talk is based on her recently published book, After One Hundred Winters: In Search of Reconciliation on America’s Stolen Lands and on the Reconciliation Rising multimedia project she co-directs with local Lakota journalist Kevin Abourezk. Jacobs draw on interviews with remarkable individuals, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, throughout the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, who are confronting the painful pasts of their nations, seeking reconciliation, and reimagining new partnerships between settlers and Indigenous people. Some of these people are working at the grassroots, literally. Deb Echo-Hawk, a member of the Pawnee nation of Oklahoma, is partnering with Ronnie O’Brien, a white settler in Nebraska, to revive Pawnee corn in the original homelands of the Pawnee people. https://cas.unl.edu/cas-inquire-2022-2023#jacobs
