Nonresident Nebraska Housing Credit

Awarded to out-of-state students who have demonstrated well-rounded accomplishments to help offset the cost of on-campus housing. This credit is made possible by a generous contribution from University Housing, your future Husker home!

This credit can be awarded in combination with an academic scholarship and/or a leadership scholarship. This credit offsets eligible on-campus residential living and meal plan through University Housing. All residence halls are eligible except for Love Memorial Co-op.

Award

Recipients receive a credit of $3,000 ($1,500/semester) to offset University Housing charges on the University student account.

Deadline

• Priority: November 1
• Final: May 15

Review Basis

Housing Credit recipients demonstrate well-rounded accomplishment, which may include engagement in experiences through University recruitment events or campus visits and/or demonstrated diverse experiences, leadership, service, and/or knowledge. Consideration and selection are also based on geographic diversity, affordability, and academic profile through a holistic review process.

If your residency status changes (from out-of-state to Nebraska resident), your housing credit may be cancelled as a result.
