We stand ready and excited to help her make history in Nebraska as the first woman and Latina elected to the House of Representatives from the Second Congressional District. Let's go!

Every year, we award three scholarships of $500, one in each congressional district, to Democratic women who are either entering college this fall or current college students. Young women are encouraged to fill out and submit this form, that includes an up to 500-word essay on a woman in politics or woman activist that inspires them.

The scholarship is named after Lincoln city councilwoman, Lincoln mayor, and Nebraska trailblazer, Helen Boosalis. She made United States history in 1986 by challenging Kay Orr in the first gubernatorial election fielding women from the two major parties.

Happy International Women’s Day!

This years theme for International Women’s Day is “Give To Gain” Today let us think about a culture of giving - time, resources, mentoring, and funding to accelerate gender equality. This is something the Nebraska Democratic Women’s Caucus strives to do each year with our Helen Boosalis Inspiring Women Scholarship. Each year at our annual luncheon we award 3 young women, one from each Congressional District a $500 scholarship, to use at any college of their choice.
