UNO MetroMavs Partnership Scholarship — MCC to UNO Transfer Pathway

About This Opportunity

The MetroMavs Partnership is a formal scholarship and guaranteed transfer agreement between Metropolitan Community College (MCC) in Omaha and UNO. If you complete an Associate's degree at MCC with a qualifying GPA, you are guaranteed admission to UNO AND receive a scholarship to support your continuation. This pathway is designed for students who want to start at a community college (lower cost, closer to home) and then transfer to UNO for a four-year degree. The financial value of starting at MCC (lower tuition) plus the MetroMavs scholarship at UNO can make the combined cost of a four-year degree significantly lower than attending UNO directly for all four years. Contact MCC's transfer services office and UNO's transfer admissions office to get the current scholarship amount, GPA requirements, and eligible MCC programs. COUNCIL BLUFFS STUDENTS: If you start at MCC, you will pay out-of-state tuition at MCC (Iowa resident + Nebraska community college = out-of-state rates). However, when you transfer to UNO, Pottawattamie County reciprocity applies and you pay in-state rates. The MetroMavs scholarship applies at the UNO side of the transfer. Run the numbers — it may still be financially advantageous depending on your situation.
