Scholarships are funds provided to undergraduate students based on excellence in academics, financial need, leadership, diversity, service, etc. or a combination of multiple factors. Once admitted to the university, you’re automatically considered for university campus-wide academic scholarships.
FAFSA Form
Beyond scholarships, need-based financial aid from the government and other sources can enable affordability and help make your goals a reality. Most Huskers receive at least one of the three types of need-based aid after filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Form.
