Mark Winkler

Mr. Mark Winkler, NCEE’s Executive Chair from 2011 to 2017, left an indelible legacy. He was an incredible leader, mentor, and friend. He was passionate about economic and financial education. Even in passing, he is still providing support for NCEE and Nebraska economics teachers. Mark’s memorial funds have allowed us to establish a scholarship fund to support Nebraska teachers who wish to earn a master’s degree in economic education. His legacy continues.

This scholarship is open to Nebraska teachers pursuing a Master's of Economics and Entrepreneurship for Educators.
