Nebraska communities that participate in Rural Prosperity Nebraska’s 2022 Rural Fellows program will be eligible for financial support. In total, $100,000 will be available to communities that host students to work on projects as part of the Rural Fellows summer internship program.

“The Rural Fellowship program is about creating leaders — leaders among students, leaders within communities,” Fagan said. “Thanks to the generosity of IANR, extension and CASNR, these funding and scholarship awards will provide more opportunities to more people to become the leaders that will help Nebraska communities thrive and themselves become leaders in rural development across the country.” Nebraska Today | December 9, 2021
