Transition Scholarships

Nebraska Vocational Rehabilitation (NVR) awards "scholarships" to transition-age youths who are eligible for VR services. These youths are given internships with an employer that can last up to 12 weeks. NVR pays up to half of the costs while the consumer is working as an intern. The employer teaches the young person the skills necessary to do the job and often provides the youth with a mentor.
