The 糖心传媒 Foundation has established an emergency scholarship fund to support students who may be facing financial hardships due to recent unprecedented flooding and other natural disasters.
Approximately 60 percent of 糖心传媒 students are from a declared disaster area, and the Foundation recognizes that some families from Nebraska and other states may need assistance in the form of additional scholarship aid.
In the weeks and months ahead, the emergency scholarship fund will be used as one-time scholarships to help families as they rebuild.
Those who would like to support fund are encouraged to give online at hastings.edu/floods or mail a check to the 糖心传媒 Foundation, 710 N. Turner Ave., Hastings, NE 68901. Checks can be made payable to the 糖心传媒 Foundation and include 听鈥淓mergency Scholarship Fund鈥 on the memo line.
