Ernst Walter Nennemann Memorial Scholarship

The Ernst Walter Nennemann Memorial Scholarship was established by the late Hugo and Thelma Aspegren of Lincoln to remember Thelma’s father, Ernst Walter Nennemann. Hugo said, “It is hoped that by establishing this scholarship, we will in some small way leave our mark on the pages of history of the Community School District of Sidney, Iowa, and on the students who are yet to follow in our footsteps.”

To apply, you must be a current graduating senior or a former graduate of the high school in the Community School District of Sidney, Fremont County, Iowa. Former graduates must make application within three (3) years of applicant’s high school graduation date. First preference for scholarship grants will be given to current graduating seniors, all things being equal. It is preferred that the applicant be a male student. The applicant must demonstrate strong scholastic application and achievement in high school studies. The applicant must be pursuing a 2- or 4-year undergraduate degree from a fully accredited college or university. Financial need will be considered. Any previous recipients of the Ernst Walter Nennemann Memorial Scholarship may apply for an additional one-year scholarship, however they must continue to meet the criteria stated above.
