Hear all about Nebraska's unlimited possibilities.
This scholarship will greatly ease my financial burden for the upcoming school year. Paying for school has always been a challenge for me. I have put in as much overtime as I could this summer to save as much as possible for the fall. That is why I was very excited when I got the letter in the mail for this scholarship, because it is such a huge help to me. Instead of trying to work extra hours everywhere I can fit them in during the school year, I can use more of that time to focus on my studies and my other school related obligations. Right now, school is the most important thing in my life. Focusing on my education is my top priority, and this scholarship allows me the extra time to keep it my top priority.Travis Keiderling, Scholarship Recipient (0 comments)

The Campaign for Nebraska. Unlimited Possibilities.
What does it mean and why are we doing it?
The University of Nebraska Foundation is involved in a campaign to raise $1.2 billion to fund university priorities such as student scholarships, faculty recruitment, research and program support. The campaign will conclude in 2014.
“This campaign is focused on opportunities for students, on expanding research in areas we are already renowned and on making a difference in Nebraska,” said James B. Milliken, president of the University of Nebraska. “The campaign will continue to build on the university’s tremendous momentum.”
That momentum includes steady enrollment increases and improvements that are keeping more of the state’s top scholars in Nebraska. As well as record numbers for external funding for research. In 2009 that number was $229 million, more than double what it was just eight years ago.
Campaign Update:
Student support instrumental in turning dreams into reality
When asked to rank the importance of student support on a scale of one to ten, Koua Moua, a student at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, replied without hesitation, “ten.”
Support for students through private donations to scholarship funds is instrumental in changing many students’ dreams of attending college into reality - and Moua is one of those students.
