Yeutter Institute LINCOLN, Neb. The Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance has created a new scholarship to help University of Nebraska-Lincoln students pursue internship opportunities at major trade-related organizations. The Yeutter Student Scholar Award will provide a stipend to Husker students who are awarded valuable, often highly competitive trade internships. The award aims to knock down barriers for students who otherwise would not consider applying for these often unpaid or modestly paid internships located in some of the United States’ most expensive cities. “Internships give students a chance to prove themselves in a professional setting, find mentors and begin building credibility,” Yeutter Institute Director Jill O’Donnell said. “They are often a foot in the door to greater opportunity, but access can be an issue, particularly for government internships that are unpaid. We created this award to support and prompt more students to pursue valuable trade policy internship experiences, and ultimately to expand the number of voices that are engaged on international trade issues speaking from the perspective of Nebraska and the greater heartland.”

He was not a backslapping politician, said Paul Eggers, a one- time Republican gubernatorial candidate in Texas and a long-time Tower friend. He was a very intelligent man. I was in Washington many times and saw him operate on the floor of the Senate. He brought reason to debate on the floor.
