in the Nebraska City area. A nontraditional student for

education that will benefit the Nebraska City community. A

and how he or she feels this opportunity might be of benefit to them
shall be submitted as part of the application. This outline
will be judged by its content, not by its construction or volume.The Fred and Patsy Wademan family established a fund to

daughter Beth Wademan
Good and is awarded annually. Applications and eligibility
