As a Buffett Scholar, you are required to report your final grades to the Buffett Foundation. The process is very simple. All of your grades will be posted to your MyRed page by December 24th. You will copy and paste your grades and e-mail them to Becky Connor at scholarships@nebraska.edu. Make sure the grades you submit also show your “cumulative” GPA. You also need to send the Buffett Foundation of your intended date of graduation and your current e-mail address. This is the Foundation’s sole way of corresponding with you. The deadline for submitting your grades to Becky Connor is Monday, January 3rd. Failure to submit your final grades by the deadline will delay your spring disbursement. If you withdrew from one or more courses this semester after August 31st, you are responsible for repaying the Buffett Foundation for the amount of that course. There are two options of repaying the Buffett Foundation: 1.) you must submit a check to the Buffett Foundation by Friday, January 7th, or 2.) notify Becky Connor and have the amount of your withdrawn course(s) deducted from your spring disbursement. You will need to notify Becky Connor which option you decide to pursue. Failure to notify Becky Connor of a withdrawn course and your repayment option by Monday, January 3rd will delay your spring disbursement. *PLEASE NOTE – Pat Young is no longer the contact person for the Buffett Foundation. The new contact person for the Buffett Foundation is Becky Connor.If you have any questions or concerns regarding these details, please contact Becky Connor at scholarships@nebraska.edu.

"How YOU prepare in the present will predict how YOU perform in the future"

“As most of you probably are getting set to travel home, I offer one piece of personal advice not related to school - Be Thankful. Be thankful for friends, family, food, shelter, clothing, freedom, the opportunity to go to college, and everything else big or small in your life. We often take things for granted and Thanksgiving helps to remind us of the great things we have here in the United States and in Nebraska. As you spend time with family or friends, thank them for being there for you. Cherish the moments you have, because you never known when you won't have them anymore!”

Transitioning to the Holidays Back Home…Dr. William Burns, Director of Counseling Services at St. Lawrence University, has some helpful advice for managing the temporary transition back home:Tell your parents about your plans for the break before you get home. They have the right to know how much you plan to be at home and away. Realize that compromise needs to occur, and that family plans can change as the need arises. Discuss and negotiate the rules of the home with your family. Remember that while things for you have changed this semester, they can still be pretty much the same at home. If your grades aren't what you or your parents expected them to be, prepare your parents for the news. If grades are a source of contention, you might want to set aside time to talk about school and have other times when you can just enjoy the holidays. Remember that this is your break time to rest and restore yourself for the rest of the year. With a little planning and awareness of the needs of your family, you can minimize the stress and maximize the enjoyment of your holidays!

HAVE A VERY HAPPY AND SAFE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY!
