On May 15, 2008, the Senior Awards Banquet was held at Nemaha Valley High School.

The following nonrenewable scholarships were awarded:

In order to receive the scholarships, students must complete an application, which includes information on activities, honors, and educational and career goals. A letter of recommendation from someone outside of NVHS must accompany the application. A scholarship evaluation panel comprised of Foundation members then evaluates the applications.
The Nemaha Valley Schools Education Foundation is organized as a not-for-profit, tax exempt 501c3, charitable endowment fund to be used to generate and support special projects, programs, and scholarships in the Nemaha Valley Schools.
