NICF Distributes $10,400 in UPS Scholarships

The Nebraska Independent College Foundation (NICF) (www.nicfonline.org) has distributed $10,400 in UPS Scholarships to low-income students at private colleges and universities in the state. The scholarships were made possible by a grant from the UPS Educational Endowment Fund administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC; www.cic.edu) in Washington, DC.

Nationally, CIC and the UPS Foundation teamed up to provide nearly $1.5 million in student scholarships this year, which will be distributed through state-based private college associations around the country. Colleges in Nebraska that received UPS Scholarships this year from NICF include Bellevue University, Hastings College, Union College, and York College.
