The University of Nebraska's "NU Katrina Student Assistance Fund" has been established to make scholarships for the fall semester available to help students in a variety of circumstances. "We have students from Nebraska, or with Nebraska ties, who were enrolled at colleges in New Orleans or other affected communities. We want to do all we can to help them continue with their education," Milliken said. "We also have out-of-state students who were already enrolled on our campuses whose homes have been destroyed and whose ability to stay in school is now in jeopardy. "This scholarship fund will help students whose lives have been disrupted begin or continue their education." Milliken asked the University of Nebraska Foundation to create a special fund, and the Foundation Board of Directors agreed. Eligibility for the scholarships will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to the extent funds are available, with the goal of full tuition scholarships for the fall semester for those most seriously affected. Contributions to the fund are tax-deductible and may be made securely on line at www.nufoundation.org. Checks payable to the University of Nebraska Foundation may be sent to: University of Nebraska Foundation, Attention: NU Katrina Student Assistance Fund, 1010 Lincoln Mall , Lincoln, NE 68508.
