Paul Beck Undergraduate Scholarship

Undergraduate students with one or two semesters left of coursework are invited to apply for the Paul L. Beck Memorial Faculty/Staff Scholarship for the next academic year. The Faculty Senate of the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) has sponsored scholarships for students since 1970 when Paul L. Beck, a long-time member of the History Department, urged faculty and staff to go beyond the classroom to assist capable students in their educational pursuits at UNO. Selection is based primarily on a student’s financial need in addition to academic standing, service to the community and/or university, and letter of faculty support.

Applicants must be enrolled full time (12 credit hours) to receive the scholarship.
Applicants must be UNO students in good standing with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher.
Applications must upload a one page letter describing their financial need and how this scholarship will help them further their educational needs. Applicants should explain the nature of their financial need.
Applications must include a letter of support from a UNO faculty member.
The scholarship is to be used during an awardee’s undergraduate senior year.
