Department Scholarships

In addition to the scholarships awarded by the University, the Forrest C. Blood Scholarship, a freshman honors scholarship offered by the College of Business Administration, is awarded to approximately 10 new freshmen each year. To be eligible for this $1,000 renewable scholarship, you must be admitted to the College of Business Administration and the Honors Program, have a minimum 28 ACT score, and, in certain instances, have financial need as determined by FAFSA. As with University scholarships, by applying for admission and submitting complete admissions application materials, you will be automatically considered for the Forrest C. Blood Scholarship.

Additional scholarships are available for students who have completed 12 credit hours at the University as students in the College of Business Administration. These scholarships are awarded to outstanding students depending upon major, extracurricular activities, grade point average, and financial need.

The College of Arts and Sciences also provides scholarship opportunities for its students. The Dean's Office, in conjunction with the College Committee on Academic Distinction and Awards for Students, chooses recipients for College scholarships and also recommends students for some University scholarships. To be considered for these scholarships, you must be enrolled full-time and currently attending Nebraska at the time of application. You also must complete the College's Undergraduate Scholarship Application Form. Selection criteria may include the grade point average, the major or pre-professional program of study, financial need, class standing, and co-curricular activities. Amounts range from $300 to $3,000 and some scholarships are renewable.
