If you haven’t already, complete a profile in ScholarshipQuest at EducationQuest.org. ScholarshipQuest is a scholarship
search tool with over 2,000 Nebraska-based awards.
If you’re a Nebraska resident in grades 9-12, you’ll see the EducationQuest Scavenger Hunt Scholarship as one of the
scholarships you’re eligible to apply for.
