The Sara L. Nieman Scholarship Fund concentrates almost all of its giving on individual student scholarships, primarily awarding multi-year support to a small group of recipients. Grants are transactional and tuition-focused rather than to institutions or programs, indicating the foundation functions as a private scholarship sponsor for local students — frequently renewing awards to the same beneficiaries.
Concentrated and repeat-focused: relatively few grants total, several larger awards (~$6,000) recurring to the same students alongside a handful of smaller one-time scholarships; funds are directed to individuals rather than organizations.
