UNO TRIO Project Achieve — Free Academic & Advising Support for UNO First-Gen Students

About This Opportunity

UNO's TRIO Student Support Services program — called Project Achieve — is a federally funded, completely free academic support program for University of Nebraska Omaha undergraduates who are first-generation, low-income, and/or have a documented disability. Project Achieve provides: academic advising and personal counseling, one-on-one tutoring assistance, financial aid information and counseling, transfer advising (for students considering further study after UNO), community service connections, and workshops on time management, financial literacy, graduate school preparation, and career planning. This is distinct from UNO's Upward Bound program (which serves high school students) — Project Achieve specifically serves enrolled UNO undergraduates. Every UNO student who qualifies should know this program exists and apply. High school seniors who are first-gen or low-income and plan to attend UNO should apply for Project Achieve immediately after UNO enrollment.

Who Can Apply

Must be enrolled as an undergraduate student at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO). Must meet at least ONE of: (1) first-generation college student — neither parent holds a 4-year college degree, OR (2) low-income per federal income guidelines, OR (3) documented physical or learning disability. Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. Apply at unomaha.edu/project-achieve or call 402-554-3492.
