The Nebraska 4-H Foundation recently awarded $1,000 scholarships to three University of Nebraska-Lincoln students in honor of former 4-H Foundation Director Kirk Jamison, who retired in 2010, and his wife, Trula.
The three recipients of the 2012-13 Jamison Scholarship are:
– Connor Bloedorn of Wisner, food science and technology
– Stacey Herbel of Lincoln, nutrition science
– Jaslyn Livingston of Broadwater, veterinary science
"The foundation is pleased to provide college scholarships to these outstanding 4-H'ers," said Stuart Shepherd, executive director of the Nebraska 4-H Foundation. "It is also an honor for us to pay tribute to past Foundation Director Kirk Jamison and his wife, Trula."
Recipients of the award had to be incoming sophomores in the College of Education and Human Sciences or the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources with a GPA of at least 3.25. Bloedorn and Livingston are from CASNR while Herbel is from CEHS. The scholars also had to be involved in 4-H.
Stuart added that providing college scholarships is one of the most important programs of the Nebraska 4-H Foundation, and he thanked donors across Nebraska for their generous support in making the scholarships possible.
