S-Stem Scholarship

At UNO, we are fortunate to host a S-STEM National Science Foundation award. This is a funding mechanism that supplies scholarship funds to students working towards earning degrees with STEM majors. We are looking to fund multiple scholarships to UNO STEM students!

Applications will be assessed to verify eligibility (e.g., financial and major). We are not able to support students that are pursuing a healthcare provider career path.

Applications submitted on or before midnight on October 22nd will receive priority consideration. The application should be a quick and simple exercise for you.

You are invited to apply for a special STEM scholarship. If you are selected to join this new scholarship program at UNO, you will receive:

• Up to $7500 per semester for up to 8 semesters
• Comprehensive wrap-around services to elevate your successes at UNO
• Community engagement opportunities designed to boost you into a fulfilling career utilizing your STEM major
