Scholarship Guidelines

Each year, incoming first-year and transfer students may qualify for campus-wide scholarships upon admission to Nebraska. Scholarship recipients reeive notification of their award and a summary of eligibility and renewal requirements in MyRed.

This page provides the full renewal criteria for scholarships that can be continued beyond the first year. Guidelines are organized by the semester you first enrolled at Nebraska. To review the requirements for your scholarship, find the award name and the year you started your studies. You must meet the posted criteria each year to remain eligible.

Scholarship renewal expectations are updated annually and may differ between incoming classes. Follow the guidelines for the year you entered Nebraska. If you are at risk of losing your scholarship, visit the  Scholarships Appeals page to learn about appeal options.

If your scholarship does not appear below, it may be non-renewable, dependent on available funding, or renewed through your academic college or department. For questions about a specific award, contact Husker Hub or the college or department that manages your scholarship.
