A scholarship can change your life!
Purpose of the Nelson Family Endowed Scholarship
The purpose of the Nelson Family Endowed Scholarship is to help non-traditional students achieve their goals. The assistance is especially geared toward those individuals who may be changing their paths in life or those pursuing changes in careers.
