Merit scholars
sought by UNL
A new program aimed at improving academic scholar
ship at UNL is being initiated this year through the
National Merit Scholarship Corporation, according to
UNL's chancellor, Roy Young.
Young said that the university will become affiliated
with NMSC this year in an effort to increase attendance of
National Merit Scholars at UNL
"With a contribution from the Cooper Foundation of
Lincoln and funds from the John C. and Nettie V. David
Memorial Trust, we hope to offer at least 10 scholarships
in the 1978-79 academic year," said Young.
"It is anticipated that additional funds will be provided
to UNL through the University of Nebraska Foundation
to make it possible to provide scholarships to a greater
numberbf students."
Young said that for this reason, the number of scholar
ships offered has been increased from 10 to 24.
The scholarships offered through the National Merit
program are four-year merit scholarships of $500, one
time awards of $1,000, and private business-sponsored,
four-year scholarships. Hie four-year merit scholarships
will be sponsored by UNL through the funds from both
the Cooper Foundation and the University of Nebraska
Foundation.
"Currently, UNL enrolls about one-fourth of the
National Merit Scholars from Nebraska and a larger num
ber of semi-finalists. Participation in the National Merit
program should improve our ability to attract additional
top scholars," Young said.
National Merit Scholars, including those upperclass
men from previous years, will number 44 this year. In
comparison, Michigan State University, which has
supported the program for many years, had 487 Merit
Scholars in 1976. Michigan State sponsors 82 scholarships.
Through the University of Nebraska Foundation's
current fund drive, aimed at a $25 million mark, more
funds for merit scholars should become available, Young
said.
