Scholarships are available on EducationQuest.org and also available through each public and private high school in Lincoln. Tickets for the Scholarship Gala can be purchased online at lincolngold.org.
Established in September of 2015, Lincoln G.O.L.D. (Girls Organization for Leadership and Development) is a non-profit organization providing a mentorship program for Lincoln area girls who are currently high school seniors and juniors. Meetings are held twice monthly, with one dedicated to educational classes that prepare the girls for college covering topics such as finance, leadership, etiquette, and composing a resume. The second is focused on philanthropic projects including volunteering at the local food bank, making blankets for Project Linus, fundraising for Huskers Helping the Homeless, and many more. There are currently 31 girls participating in the program in 2015-16.
