Dodie Acklie Nakajima Memorial Scholarship

The Dodie Acklie Nakajima Memorial Scholarship program is open to dependents of full-time employees and owner-operators of Crete Carrier Corporation, Shaffer Trucking, Hunt Transportation, Capitol Casualty Company, and Electronic Contracting Company.

Approximately $100,000 of scholarships will be awarded annually and can be used for tuition, fees, books, and other qualifying expenses. Scholarships are renewable annually for up to four additional years if continuing in a bachelor’s degree program through reapplication and good academic standing with a cumulative 2.000 GPA or above (and not on academic probation). Students must apply/reapply for the scholarship by February 1 of each year.

Consideration will be given to the following: financial need, participation in extracurricular activities, leadership, and academic achievement (GPA, class ranking, and ACT or SAT scores). Final selections will be made and announced by the University of Nebraska after their review.
