U.S. Bank® and the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) are proud to announce the 2021-2022 Believers & Achievers. Believers & Achievers is a state-wide program designed by U.S. Bank® and the NSAA to give recognition to Nebraska’s future leaders.
Beginning in October and continuing through April, 48 Nebraska high school seniors will be honored as Believers & Achievers. From those 48 finalists, eight will receive $500 scholarships from U.S. Bank® to the college or university of their choice at a scholarship banquet to be held on April 24th, 2022.
These students will be recognized at NSAA State Championships throughout the 2021-2022 activities year and on a poster sent to all NSAA member schools and U.S. Bank® branches throughout the state.
All of the students nominated for the Believers & Achievers awards program represent the very best of Nebraska’s high schools. For more information on the U.S. Bank® Believers & Achievers Awards Program, click here.
