Madison, Dean, Basketball Scholarship Grant

The Dean Madison Basketball Scholarship, established by the Beatrice Educational Foundation, awards a $500 scholarship to a senior basketball player from Beatrice High School who plans to pursue higher education. This scholarship emphasizes leadership, hustle, and sportsmanship, both on and off the court. The Foundation, established in 1987, manages a $3.8 million endowment to support educational opportunities, providing over $55,000 annually in scholarships to deserving students.

Overview
The Foundation’s purpose is to provide a permanent source of financial support for the expansion and enrichment of learning opportunities for the Beatrice School District.
The Foundation manages a $3.8 million Endowment Fund and awards over $55,000 each year in scholarships to Beatrice High School graduating seniors.
The intent of the Foundation is to provide funds to deserving students needing assistance to attend a school of higher learning. Should a recipient receive other scholarship funds in excess of need, the Foundation scholarship will not be forwarded at that time. It will, however, be available for a five-year period should the recipient need these funds at a later date for tuition, room and board, or books. Foundation scholarships are restricted to undergraduate studies.
Dean Madison graduated from Beatrice High School where he participated in many activities, including being a member of the 1959 State Champion basketball team. He will award a $500 scholarship to one senior basketball player who plans to continue his/her education at a two or four year college, or its equivalent. The selected basketball player will exhibit leadership qualities, hustle, and good sportsmanship on the court. Preference will be given to players who are involved in activities off the court where they exemplify these same personality traits.
