Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship — Nebraska Residents, NU System

About This Opportunity

The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship is one of the most significant private scholarship programs available to Nebraska residents — providing substantial financial support to students attending University of Nebraska system institutions (UNO, UNL, UNK, UNMC). The scholarship is need-based and highly competitive, designed to make NU system schools accessible to Nebraska students who face the greatest financial barriers. Award amounts are significant — verify the current award amount at buffettscholarships.org. This is a named scholarship administered in partnership with the NU system schools; application process and deadlines are coordinated through each campus's financial aid office.
