Sorensen establishes public service scholarship

Undergraduate scholarships are critical to attracting the best students to UNL, making the best possible education available to them, and allowing them to graduate in a timely manner.

This is why I am so thrilled by the recent gift of Ted Sorensen, former advisor to President John F. Kennedy, to endow the Theodore C. Sorensen Scholarship for Public Service for students in the College of Arts and Sciences. Mr. Sorensen is quoted in the news release for this award as follows "My new book makes clear that much of what I have accomplished in these 80 years is due to my upbringing and education in Nebraska. It is my hope that my fellowship at the law school and these new scholarships at the College of Arts and Sciences will help other young Nebraskans in the future who share my interest in public service."
