UNO Goodrich Scholarship Program

About This Opportunity

The Goodrich Scholarship Program at UNO is a comprehensive merit and need-based award that includes academic support services, mentorship, career development, and financial assistance. It is designed for students who have overcome significant obstacles or have demonstrated potential for success alongside financial need. The program goes beyond a scholarship — Goodrich Scholars are part of a community with dedicated advisors, tutoring, career counseling, and peer mentorship. If you are a student from a low-income background, a first-generation college student, or someone who has faced significant challenges on your path to college, the Goodrich Program may be the most valuable scholarship opportunity at UNO. Requires a separate application — do not assume automatic consideration. Apply to UNO by February 1 and submit the Goodrich application. Contact the Goodrich Program at (402) 554-3708 or visit unomaha.edu/goodrich for current application information. COUNCIL BLUFFS STUDENTS: You are eligible. Pottawattamie County is in UNO's reciprocity zone and CB students with qualifying need and merit are welcome to apply.
