The William H. Thompson Scholars Learning Community (TSLC) is a living/learning community for students who are awarded the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship at the University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK). The Thompson Learning Communities were initiated in 2008 at UNK, UNO, and UNL through a partnership between the University of Nebraska and the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation; the learning communities are named in honor of William H. Thompson, the father of Susan Thompson Buffett. Students who choose to attend UNK become known as Thompson Scholars and automatically become part of the living/learning community.

While the Thompson Scholars Learning Community Program focuses primarily on the 1st-year and 2nd-year experience, the TSLC Program also provides services to 3rd-year through 5th-year Thompson Scholars. The TSLC Staff offers academic support and individualized attention to students so that they can achieve academic success, become engaged in campus life, and graduate from college.
“Being in a Thompson Scholars class is one of the best things that I have experienced in college. The office staff works very hard to get meaningful classes taught by some of the best professors on campus. I can remember all of the instructors and classes that I have taken for Thompson, and that is a testament to the work that everyone involved in creating the class and teaching the class has done. These instructors know the value of the scholarship and they really make the class feel like a community. Not to mention that it is always easy to find someone to study with!”
