CBA Scholars Academy

The Scholars Academy is a close-knit community of ambitious and high-achieving students who want to challenge themselves while pursuing a degree. Throughout the four years in the program, Scholars are mentored by business professionals in the Omaha community, enroll in special business courses taught by award-winning faculty, and gain real-world experience through community engagement and international travel.
The Scholars Academy is possible thanks to generous donations from Dennis and Ruth Duffy, Carl Mammel, the Virginia Pettengill Estate, and others. Through their gifts, every Scholar receives a minimum $5,000 annual scholarship, awarded over four years, for a total of $20,000.
To apply to the Scholars Academy, a candidate must be coming in as an incoming freshman in CBA. The top 40 applicants will be invited to interview for the program in the spring. For exact dates, please visit cba.unomaha.edu/scholarsacademy.
The priority deadline to apply is January 15 and the final deadline is March 1.
