The Paul D. Brunner Memorial Scholarship is awarded to law students who have demonstrated an interest in civil rights law, who have financial need, and who are from educationally or culturally disadvantaged backgrounds. This scholarship fund was established by Marlene Brunner in memory of her son, Paul D. Brunner, who was a member of the class of 2007. Paul was beginning his third year of law school at the College of Law when he died unexpectedly on September 20, 2006. He was raised in Scribner, Nebraska, and graduated with a BS in Criminal Justice from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During law school, he attended the summer study abroad program in Cambridge, England, worked in Chicago, and provided pro bono assistance for victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. He was vice-president of the Black Law Students Association. Paul had planned to pursue a career in civil rights after graduation.
The John M. Gradwohl-Nebraska Council of School Attorneys Scholarship and the Harold I. Mosher Scholarship are awarded based on scholastic ability and financial need, with preference given to students with a demonstrated interest in education/school law and to students who are former public school teachers or administrators. There is a single application for both the Mosher and Gradwohl-Nebraska Council of School Attorneys scholarships.

contributions to the organization and improvement of the practice of school law in Nebraska.
The Harold I. Mosher Scholarship was established by the friends of Harold I. Mosher to
