D.J. Hero's Awards Scholarships

Scholarship: Nebraska Salvation Army - D.J. Hero’s Awards Scholarships


Description: Since 2001, The Salvation Army has awarded 172 scholarships to Nebraska high school seniors who have overcome significant challenges in their lives. Named in memory of D.J. Sokol, who passed away in June of 1999 just three weeks after graduating from high school, the awards were born out of D.J.’s passion for including, encouraging, and shining the spotlight on those who might otherwise have been overlooked. 


The scholarships granted through D.J.’s Hero Awards recognize Nebraska high school seniors who exemplify perseverance and selflessness in facing unique challenges. Recipients are also leaders in their communities and poised for success.

 

The scholarships will be presented at the D.J.’s Hero Awards Luncheon on [date to be announced]. Attendance is required for award winners, within reason. The Salvation Army will provide hotel accommodations for all scholarship winners & their parents or chaperones.


Application Deadline: Date to be Announced. 


D.J.’s Hero Awards nominations must be submitted electronically. Applicants can either submit the application materials directly online or download and then scan and email the completed application materials as PDFs to wstheroapp@usc.salvationarmy.org
