If you meet the four qualifications of the Nebraska Promise program, applying for the program is as simple as submitting your FAFSA.

Thanks to the program, full-time resident undergraduates whose families have an adjusted gross income of $65,000 or less, and who qualify for the federal Pell Grant, can attend UNO and pay no tuition.

The Nebraska Promise applies to returning, transfer and new students, both on-campus and online, and requires no separate application beyond the FAFSA.

📆 Submit your FAFSA by June 1.
