The North Platte Public Schools Foundation is pleased to announce a new scholarship opportunity for North Platte Public School seniors. The Engdahl family has established the Jeff Engdahl memorial Golf Scholarship in memory of their son Jeff, who died in March after a courageous battle with cancer.

The Jeff Engdahl Memorial Golf Scholarship will be awarded to a high school senior boy or girl who has lettered in Golf and plans to continue his or her education.

Jeff was a 1990 graduate of North Platte High School who had an incredible passion for golf. He excelled at both the high school and college levels. The family wishes to award this gift to a student who possesses the same talents, passion and drive that Jeff had for the game.

This year’s recipient is Kyle Zimbelman, son of Nicki Henry and Douglas Zimbelman, who plans to pursue his education at the University of Nebraska and play collegiate golf.

Through the generosity of many donors, the North Platte Public Schools Foundation provides more than $330,000 in scholarships annually for graduates of North Platte High School.
