Central Nebraska Home Builders Scholarship
The Central Nebraska Home Builders Association has established this scholarship in memory of Grand Island Home Builder Jim Roth. Roth built homes in and around Grand Island for several years, including many homes in the Brentwood area. Roth was active in the Home Builders Association and did much to promote the construction trades and Central Nebraska Home Builders. He lost his life prematurely in a plane crash. As a thank you to Roth, the Central Nebraska Home Builders have created this scholarship as his legacy.
