COST OF ATTENDANCE The information below is based on full-time enrollment of 27 credit hours or more for the nine-month academic year (2019-20).*

Cost is an important factor when you choose a university—UNO is competitively priced, and we can help you find financial aid to help keep the cost down even more.

The 2018-2019 school year saw a total of $915,275 in scholarship money given to UNO CBA students. A total of 92 CBA scholarships were awarded, reaching 201 student recipients.

“Many students wouldn’t be able to be in college if it weren’t for scholarships,” says Bethany Hughes, CBA scholarship coordinator.

“Scholarships keep the college competitive by attracting the best and brightest students.”

And thanks to donors, UNO CBA continues to provide opportunities to students who may otherwise not attend college at all. The scholarships not only draw students to the college, but set them up for continued success by allowing them to graduate with less debt.

“We want to keep Nebraskans here and attract students from outside our state to pursue an education and career here,” Hughes says.

The scholarships are essential in achieving that mission, as they go towards tuition, housing, and other college expenses and set students up to create their own success stories.

SCHOLARSHIPS KEEP UNO CBA COMPETITIVE BY ATTRACTING THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST AND KEEPS FOCUS ON WHAT THE COLLEGE VALUES MOST—OUR STUDENTS. BE T H A N Y HUGHE S CBA SCHOLARSHIP COORDINATOR
