The Arnold H. White Memorial Scholarship was established in 2004 by Mr. White’s estate. Arnold H. White was a generous community citizen of Lancaster County in Nebraska. Upon his death in 2004, he left a portion of his estate to the Lincoln Community Foundation to provide scholarships. He knew the importance of a good education and wanted to help students fulfill their dreams of attaining a college degree and becoming active community citizens.
