Scholarship Guidelines

Each year, incoming students may qualify for campus-wide scholarships upon admission. Scholarship recipients receive notification of their award and a summary of eligibility and renewal requirements in MyRED.

Renewal criteria for scholarships that can be continued beyond the first year is provided below. 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. For information about applying for  scholarships upon admission, visit the scholarships page.

Scholarship renewal expectations are updated annually and may differ between incoming classes. If your scholarship is not renewed, 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.
