The Susan T. Buffett Foundation (STBF) has offered scholarships to college students in Nebraska for over 50 years. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to first-time freshman entering college who live in Nebraska, graduate from a Nebraska high school (or GED) with plans to attend a Nebraska public college, and demonstrate financial need. There are a limited number of scholarships, so the Foundation is unable to provide awards to all eligible candidates.
Your scholarship has not only made my education attainable but has also empowered me to pursue a career I am passionate about. I am deeply appreciative of the Foundation's commitment to supporting students like me, and I am honored to have been a recipient of this invaluable scholarship.

Words can't express how grateful I am for this scholarship and how many opportunities it has given me. It's bittersweet to be graduating, but being a Thompson Scholar will always be a part of my identity that I take pride in. This scholarship and the Thompson Scholar community have changed my life in so many profound and positive ways, and I'm so excited for what's coming next (grad school!).
