Find Your Value

As Husker alum Warren Buffett says, “price is what you pay; value is what you get.” What you'll pay at Nebraska is among the lowest tuition in the Big Ten. What you'll get depends on how you want to create the future—experience learning hands on, make new friends, give back to the world, engage with challenging coursework and prepare for your career or graduate school.

Paying for
College Basics

Part of finding your value is understanding the cost. While every college and university does it a little differently, the good news is, all the basics are the same.

See How Paying for College Works

Cost of Attendance

While all colleges and universities handle scholarships and financial aid a little differently, the basic types of charges and awards are the same:

Add:

Billed by the University

Tuition: What's charged for your enrollment in a class. At Nebraska, we charge by credit hour.

Fees: Variable costs based on the classes you take, plus some general student fees that support student services, technology, the library, etc.

Housing and Meal Plan: Cost for your room and meals on campus.

Not Billed by the University

Books and Supplies: Course materials like textbooks, lab safety equipment or art supplies.

Travel and Personal Expenses: Money you'll need to spend on yourself while you're in school.

Cost of Attendance: Your total cost to attend before scholarships and aid.

Subtract:

Financial Assistance to Reduce Your Cost

University Scholarships: Awards offered by university. At Nebraska, we offer scholarships for academic achievement, leadership, service and diversity enhancement. You do not need to pay these back.

External Scholarships: Scholarships you've earned on your own through outside agencies and are bringing to Nebraska. See External Scholarship Opportunities

Financial Aid Grants: Awards based on financial need offered by the state and federal government, other agencies or the university (you must file the FAFSA to be eligible); you do not need to pay these back.

Net Cost of Attendance: The price you pay after subtracting scholarships and financial aid from tuition, fees, housing and meal plan, books, travel and personal expenses.

Additional Assistance

Student Loans: If you need help meeting the net cost of attendance, there are low interest student loans available. Educational loans are a useful tool to pay for college, but we encourage you to borrow only enough to cover your necessary education-related expenses. Loans must be repaid with interest, even if you do not graduate.

Other Assistance: There are additional borrowing options beyond student loans for extenuating circumstances. Please contact our Student Service Specialists in Husker Hub at 402-472-2030 or huskerhub@unl.edu to learn more.

Scholarships

We want to recognize you for your accomplishments with a scholarship! After you apply, we will notify you of your scholarship awards starting in the Fall of your senior year.

You do not need to submit an ACT/SAT score to be considered for most academic scholarships—all you need to do is apply with your cumulative high school GPA. Leadership, service, and diversity scholarships are based on holistic review, meaning your test score is just one part of consideration. If you are a first-year student, we encourage you to submit a Scholarship Statement by February 1 in order to maximize your eligibility.
