Davis-Chambers Student Scholarship

The Davis-Chambers Scholarship recognizes academically promising students who often find that financial requirements of postsecondary education are a major obstacle. The scholarship may be used for tuition, room and board, or fees. Each applicant is required to complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The scholarship is applied after all other aid.

The Davis-Chambers Scholarship is provided through the Nebraska State College System for transfer students from Nebraska community colleges. The scholarships are awarded for one academic year (two semesters) and are renewable for a subsequent academic year upon academic success, not to exceed four consecutive academic semesters if completed within a total of two years. Recipients of scholarships must enroll as full-time students carrying 12 hours or more per semester. The awards will terminate if the recipient is placed on academic suspension or probation. For more information and the application, please visit the Nebraska State College System scholarships page. Scholarship deadline is Feb. 1.
