The starting point
Jesuit university in Omaha with a deep, published scholarship menu — including two full-ride competitives (Scott and Next Generation Leaders) and a $32k Nebraska-resident tuition award — but no published outside-scholarship displacement policy.
Selection beyond grades and scores. These awards are not recorded as automatic on grades and scores. Read each award's selection rules, application steps and dates. Meeting a minimum is not an award offer.
Awards to discuss
First 3 of 9 recorded awards, in chapter display order. This is a selection, not a ranking. Read the full chapter for all awards. Amounts retain the original units and conditions; confirm the entering year with the school.
