William B. & Virginia S. Rolofson Scholarship

The William B. and Virginia S. Rolofson Scholarship was established in 2005. William (Bill) and Virginia both attended Belmont Elementary and Lincoln High School. Bill graduated from the Nebraska School of Agriculture at the University of Nebraska. He was a farmer and rural mail carrier for 30 years and later became the head custodian at Dawes Junior High School. Virginia earned a music teaching certificate from the University of Nebraska and was the Activities Director for the Belmont Community Center for 20 years. Bill and Virginia realized that education was the key to one’s future and quietly imparted “you can do it” encouragement to help youth achieve their dreams.

To be eligible, students must be graduating high school seniors of Lincoln North Star High School, Lincoln, Nebraska, planning to attend a two-year or four-year college, university, trade school, or technical school and enrolled as a full-time student pursuing a terminal degree. Financial need may be considered.
