An affordable liberal arts education in Nebraska? Yes way.

Don't let the phrase "private college" scare you. National data shows that liberal arts colleges give better scholarships, more financial aid, and students graduate on time at a higher rate than public universities. We encourage students to do their own research to determine which financial pathway is best suited for their needs.

For institutional aid, academic progress is reviewed annually after spring semester grades are finalized. In the event that a student does not meet the renewal cumulative GPA, their academic scholarship will be adjusted downward accordingly for the next academic year. The student may regain their original academic award the following academic year if they regain the required cumulative GPA after the following spring semester.
