Award

Recipients are awarded $14,000 toward University of Nebraska–Lincoln undergraduate tuition for the academic year ($7,000/semester) for up to four years, not including summers based on enrollment in 15 credits per fall/spring semester (prorated for enrollment in fewer than 15 credit hours per semester). This award cannot be stacked with a New Nebraskan Scholarship. If you qualify for a New Nebraskan Scholarship, it will take precedence.

Review Basis

Nebraska Legacy Scholars demonstrate academic distinction. Selection is based on confirmation of parent alumnus status as well as a holistic review that includes a balanced objective assessment of competitive academic achievement, including a 3.000 cumulative high school GPA. Nebraska Board of Regents policy defines child of an alumnus as someone who is a natural born child or legally adopted child of an alumnus.

Renewability

Students must maintain a 2.000 cumulative GPA and complete 24 credit hours each academic year (fall/spring). See full guidelines for scholarship.

Transferability

This scholarship is offered by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. The scholarship is not transferable in part or in whole to any other university or campus, including the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK), the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) or the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). This scholarship will not cover the cost of tuition for classes taken at UNO, UNK, NCTA or UNMC.

As a public tuition benefit under Nebraska State Statute 4-110, individuals awarded these funds must be citizens of the United States or if a qualified alien have been verified as lawfully present in the United States (Nebraska State Statutes 4-111 and 4-112).
