Scholarship Guidelines

Each incoming class of first-year and/or transfer students has the opportunity to earn university campus-wide scholarships to Nebraska upon admission. Awarded scholars are notified of scholarship offers, including guidelines for eligibility and renewal. Award messages in MyRed have brief descriptions of each scholarship offer. Below are the full eligiblity details for renewable scholarships.

As policies are updated annually, scholarship guidelines for each incoming class are posted for students to review. Scholarship guidelines are subject to change with each incoming class. Below are the guidelines for each scholarship by year, organized by incoming class. To review the renewal criteria for a scholarship you were offered, find your scholarship offer below, then look for the semester you began at Nebraska. You must follow the guidelines listed in order to renew your scholarship. Information about appealing scholarship non-renewal is available at financialaid.unl.edu/scholarship-appeals. For older scholarship cohort guidelines, please visit financialaid.unl.edu/old-scholarship-guidelines. If you do not see a scholarship listed below, it may be non-renewable, or may have a renewal option dependent on availability of funding, or may have a renewal option through your specific academic college or department. For more information about a specific scholarship, inquire with Husker Hub or with the academic college or department that makes the scholarship selection.
