Cabela’s, Harry and Reba Huge Foundation Offering Women in Leadership Scholarships

Cabela’s, the World’s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, together with the Harry and Reba Huge Foundation (www.thehugefoundation.org), will be awarding $10,000 scholarships to four female graduates of Nebraska high schools this spring. Cabela’s Women in Leadership scholarships are part of an initiative by Cabela’s leaders to encourage young women to become leaders of the future. This is the fifth year Cabela’s has partnered with the Harry and Reba Huge Foundation to issue these scholarships, which will be awarded to women who graduate in the spring of 2017 and plan to attend college in the fall of 2017. Scholarship winners may attend any college or university. Not only will the students receive $10,000 — $2,500 a year for four years — they also will have opportunities to receive mentoring from women in leadership positions at Cabela’s and possible internships with the company.

Applications will be due Feb. 6 and are available through the ScholarshipQuest website (www.educationquest.org), the Harry and Reba Huge Foundation website (www.thehugefoundation.org), or from high school counselors.
