LINCOLN, Neb.—The Nebraska Athletic Department has announced the establishment of the Kathy Branchaud Memorial Women’s Basketball Scholarship Fund to honor the life of a former player and booster-club member.
Branchaud (BRAN-shawd) died Feb. 11 at the age of 58 after battling cancer. A club player at Nebraska before women’s basketball was made a varsity sport, Branchaud long supported the program and served the Fastbreakers Club in a variety of capacities.
The scholarship will be awarded to a Nebraska women’s basketball player who demonstrates a commitment to pursuing a postgraduate education at the school. Candidates must maintain a 3.2 or above cumulative grade-point average.
People interested in donating should call the NU athletic development office at 402-472-2367.
