NSAA Announces 2020-21 Believers and Achievers Recipients

LINCOLN – U.S. Bank® and the Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) are proud to
announce the 2020-2021 Believers and 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 25th, 2021.
These 48 students will be recognized via an NSAA social media campaign throughout the 2020-21
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.
