The Arnold H. White Memorial Scholarship was established in 2004 by Mr. White’s estate. Arnold H. White was a generous community citizen of Lancaster County in Nebraska. Upon his death in 2004, he left a portion of his estate to the Lincoln Community Foundation to provide scholarships to graduating seniors and former graduates from high schools in the communities of Lincoln, Lyons, or Fairbury in Nebraska. He knew the importance of a good education and wanted to help students fulfill their dreams of attaining a college degree and becoming active community citizens.
