San Juan Coloradans for Nebraska

The San Juan Coloradans for Nebraska was formed to cooperate with the National Alumni Association of the University of Nebraska to provide an organization where alumni, parents, children, and friends in a specific geographic area can meet periodically for service and intellectual and social enrichment.  This scholarship was created to further the educational goals of the local youth.
