“We want students and families to know Nebraska is here to help make a distinctive Big Ten college education affordable and accessible,” said Justin Chase Brown, director of Scholarships and Financial Aid and interim director of Husker Hub. The extension gives students additional time to complete the FAFSA and qualify for need-based aid, including the expanded criteria for Nebraska Promise - the university’s financial aid program that guarantees tuition will be covered for qualifying Nebraska students with family incomes of $65,000 or less. “We are proud of everything these students have accomplished and know they will do big things here at Nebraska.”Īs part of a broad academic scholarship and need-based aid strategy for recruiting highly qualified students, President Ted Carter recently announced the University of Nebraska is permanently extending the deadline to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to June 1. “We see these awards as an investment in their future and in our communities they will serve after graduating,” said Patrick Winter, associate vice chancellor for academic services and enrollment management. In addition to the scholarships listed, colleges and departments at the university offer various scholarships to first-year students.

Nearly two out of three first-year admitted resident students have been offered an academic scholarship for the upcoming school year.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has set a record in offering more than 6,800 universitywide scholarships to the 2022 graduating class from Nebraska high schools and other first-year admits.
