is busy preparing for graduation day.
Her white gown is pressed and announcements have been sent out to
family and friends. Linegar is looking forward to spending time with
her friends at the lake this summer, between shifts at the local Pizza
Hut, before she heads off to Southeast Community College in Lincoln in
the fall.
Linegar will receive help with college expenses, thanks to her
father's employer, Wal-Mart. At a ceremony at the North Platte
Wal-Mart Distribution Center Monday, Linegar was presented with a
$10,000 Walton Family Foundation Scholarship.
To qualify, seniors must post at least a 22 Composite ACT or 1030 SAT score.
"They told Dad at work," Linegar said. "He called and told me I got it."
Dad is Steve Linegar, a refrigeration technician supervisor at the
distribution center.
Linegar is third in her class of 67 at Gothenburg High School, and
maintains a 3.97 grade-point average.
"She's been focused," said her mom, Frances. "She's self-motivated
and industrious."
In addition to her school and work responsibilities, Linegar plays
softball and is active in her church youth group. She plans to attend
SECC for a year and then transfer to the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln, where she will major in business.
Also on Monday, Wal-Mart presented a $2,000 Associate Scholarship to
Colby Dolan of Minden.
