Program description

"The Dick and Chris Draper Scholarship was established by the Draper family to benefit young people in Elgin, Nebraska. The Draper family has always had a keen interest in education. Wishing to give back to the Elgin community, the late Alice Draper of Omaha, and her family, established this scholarship to honor her husband’s parents, the late Dick and Chris Draper. Alice and her husband, Richard Jr., lived and worked in the Elgin community. Richard and his father, Dick, purchased the Bank of Elgin in the 1960s, and Richard became a major shareholder in the 1980s. Alice later served as the executive secretary and president of the bank. The Drapers were firm believers that the way to success is through education. To apply, you must be a current graduating senior of Elgin Public High School or Elgin Pope John XXIII Central Catholic High School."

Where this information comes from

This page is published from Lincoln Community Foundation's own public scholarship portal (lcf.academicworks.com), read and verified 2026-09-03. This is a different source from most of this site's listings, which come from IRS Form 990-PF filings — see how we source scholarships. Portals change between cycles, so always confirm current details on the source listing before applying.

Most listings on this site are compiled from the foundation’s own IRS Form 990-PF filing — the public record where foundations that accept applications must state who to contact, how to apply, any deadlines, and any restrictions. Listings under /award/ are a second, separate source: read directly from the foundation’s own public scholarship portal, with a link to that source on every page. Filings are annual and portals change between cycles, so details can change: always confirm the current deadline and requirements with the foundation before applying. This site is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any foundation listed. Scholarship information here is free; we charge only for optional application coaching, and we never write your application for you.
