Central Honors Institute Scholarship Application

Award Criteria

This assistance is intended to help offset camp expenses for qualifying students who are selected to attend CHI. In order to be considered for aid, the family must demonstrate financial need by their participation in one of several federal benefit programs. See form for details.

Applicant/student must write a 100- to 125-word paragraph describing, in his or her own words, how he or she would benefit from attending the Central Honors Institute academic camp.

Financial assistance is open to first-time or returning CHI campers, but receiving assistance one year does not guarantee acceptance the following year.

Applicants must attend school in Nebraska.

Scholarship applications will be evaluated by a confidential review committee and recipients will be notified by May 15, 2023.

Funds will be paid directly to Central Community College for use in offsetting Central Honors Institute tuition. If the student is unable to attend camp that summer, funds will be forfeited.

Please complete and submit by May 1, 2023.
