Nebraska Bankers Association Scholarship Recognition Dinner

On October 22, 2008, 32 Agribusiness students were recognized by the Nebraska Bankers Association (NBA) at a dinner at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lincoln.

The students has received scholarships or completed an internship through the Agricultural Banking and Finance program at UNL’s Department of Agricultural Economics.  The program was established in 2006 through the joint efforts of the NBA and UNL Department of Agricultural Economics.  The NBA sponsors scholarships for both current UNL students and high school seniors entering the program.  The program also includes a paid summer internship at a NBA-member bank. 

“I am extremely pleased with the caliber of students entering this program,” said Dr. Ron Hanson, Harlan Professor of Agribusiness at UNL.  “The generous support of the NBA is a tremendous help to these students as they prepare for careers in banking.”
