Nebraska Promise — Full Tuition at UNO (Nebraska Residents with AGI ≤$60k)

About This Opportunity

Nebraska Promise covers 100% of Nebraska in-state tuition at UNO for Nebraska residents whose family Adjusted Gross Income is $60,000 or less. If you are a Nebraska resident from Omaha or the surrounding metro with household income at or below $60,000, this scholarship eliminates your tuition entirely — you would only pay fees, room, board, and textbooks. File your FAFSA by April 1 — that is the deadline for Nebraska Promise consideration at UNO. No separate application is needed beyond the FAFSA. Nebraska Promise is administered through the NU system and applies to UNO, UNL, UNK, and UNMC. COUNCIL BLUFFS STUDENTS: Nebraska Promise requires Nebraska residency. Council Bluffs is in Iowa — CB students are Iowa residents and are NOT eligible for Nebraska Promise even though they pay in-state tuition at UNO through the reciprocity agreement. The tuition reciprocity and Nebraska Promise are separate programs. CB students with income ≤$60,000 should look at the Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship (for IWCC), Iowa Tuition Grant (private Iowa colleges), and All Iowa Opportunity Scholarship as Iowa-resident equivalents.

Who Can Apply

Must be a Nebraska resident (not Iowa). Must have household Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $60,000 or less as shown on FAFSA. Must be enrolled at UNO (or other NU system institution: UNL, UNK, UNMC). File FAFSA by April 1. No separate application — FAFSA is the application. Minimum academic standing required — verify at nebraskpromise.com or unomaha.edu. Renewable annually with continued FAFSA filing and enrollment.
