SCHOLARSHIPS
A lasting legacy for CBA alumni and friends
E
ach year, scholarships help to further the educational opportunities for College of Business Administration students. Thanks to the generosity of many donors, the college awards more than $600,000 annually in scholarships to business students, says Sue Kutschkau, development director for CBA at the University of Nebraska Foundation. The Jon Guinn Memorial Scholarship, for example, was established by Lutz & Co. to honor the CBA graduate for whom the scholarship is named. Kutschkau says Guinn died December 4, 2010, at age 25. Guinn
graduated with a BSBA in accounting in 2007. He then joined Lutz as a staff accountant. After his passing, and in collaboration with Guinn’s family and friends, Lutz established the endowed scholarship to benefit other UNO accounting students. The Jon Guinn Memorial Scholarship provides two accounting students a year with scholarships. Guinn’s work ethic, positive attitude and infectious smile left a significant impact on his family, friends and coworkers who continue to honor him through annual fundraising efforts. Other scholarships are established
as part of the estate plans of CBA graduates. The estate of Robert C. Stedman, for example, continues to benefit students at UNO. Stedman, who died September 4, 2011, at his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, enrolled in the business program at Omaha University, now UNO, in 1947. He graduated in 1951 and joined the Equitable Life Insurance Company’s Omaha office. Stedman retired to Ft. Lauderdale in 1985. From then until his death, he focused his energy on his investments as well as on how his wealth could benefit students through scholarships
