NEH will give $125,000 to the center in sums ranging fromi $40,000 to $45,000 during the next three years. The center will be expected to match the award with $375,000 from the private sector, according to Fred Luebke, director of the center and history professor at UNL The grant to UNL is one of 46 totaling $14.9 million recently made by NEH to institutions throughout the United States. When matched by grants from the private sector on a three-to-one basis, the grants will stimu late an additional $44.7 in new institutional support, according to NEH. The NEH grants are pro vided as contributions "to both the financial health and quality humanities programs" of each of the institutions receiving the awards. This endowment marks the sec ond time NEH has awarded a challenge grant to the center. The first grant, in 1977, made it possible for the center to begin programs and activities that have continued to now, Luebke said. Luebke called the latest NEH award "an endorsement of what we are doing."
