To determine your eligibility for need-based scholarships, complete the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Current Undergraduate Student Scholarship Application as well as a current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). For questions regarding this process, please refer to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid website. Scholarships are awarded to the best-matched, need-based applicant based on results of the FAFSA and Current Undergraduate Student Scholarships Application.

There are several College of Business departmental-specific scholarships awarded through the Current Undergraduate Student Scholarships Application process. Some departments, however, have scholarships with a separate application/selection process. You will be notified of these opportunities throughout the year by the academic department.

Additionally, some programs have scholarship opportunities, like the Certificate in Sales Excellence.

In addition to general scholarships offered by the College, businesses and professional organizations award scholarships to business students, ranging between $500 and $2,500 per year. You must complete the résumé portion of the Current Undergraduate Student Scholarships Application to be considered for most of these scholarships.

Other scholarships are periodically announced throughout the year by private organizations such as Farm Credit Services of America, the Nebraska Realtors Association, and the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce. Announcements for these scholarships are made via the college's Top Things to Know e-newsletter. Separate applications and deadlines may apply.

The College of Business has scholarships available specifically for study abroad experiences. To be considered for College of Business study abroad scholarships, students should complete the “Basic Scholarship Application” on MyWorld through the Nebraska Education Abroad website. All business students who apply for study abroad scholarships will be considered based on meeting individual scholarship qualifications, participating in a Nebraska sponsored study abroad program, and having at least a 2.5 GPA.

• Spring study abroad program scholarship deadline: October 1
• Summer study abroad program scholarship deadline: January 5
• Fall study abroad program scholarship deadline: February 1

The College of Business awards a limited number of scholarships to incoming freshmen. Incoming students who apply to Nebraska by the February 1 scholarship deadline, who declare a business major, and who are accepted to attend Nebraska are automatically included in the pool for first-year scholarships.

Scholarship funding is made possible through the generous giving of our college donors. A majority of these dollars are dedicated to students who demonstrate their ability to perform in the Nebraska academic environment. Transfer students will need to have been enrolled and completed a semester of coursework in order to become eligible for College of Business specific scholarships.
