Gavin Bell, a recent graduate of Hemingford High School, has been selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship awarded by the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO). Twelve $1,000 scholarships were awarded to the children and grandchildren of Nebraska county officials and employees.
The scholarship may be used for any costs associated with continuing education including, but not limited to, tuition, books, fees, and room and board. Recipients of the scholarship were selected through an examination of achievements in academics, co curricular activities and life activities, as well as the submission of two essays. Recipients must attend a post-high school educational institution located within the state of Nebraska.
