The College of Business awards scholarships to undergraduate business majors based on many criteria, including but not limited to financial need, academic merit, extracurricular involvement, and volunteer service. College-wide scholarships are awarded to the best-matched applicants based on the results of the current FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Scholarship Application. For questions regarding this process, please refer to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid website.

There are several College of Business academic major-specific scholarships awarded through the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Scholarship Application process. Some departments, however, have scholarships with a separate application and selection process. You will be notified of these opportunities throughout the year by the academic department of your major.

Additionally, some programs have scholarship opportunities, like the Certificate in Sales Excellence.

In addition to general scholarships offered by the College, businesses and professional organizations award scholarships to business students. You must complete the résumé portion of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln Scholarship Application to be considered for most of these scholarships.

Other scholarships are periodically announced throughout the year by private organizations. Announcements for these scholarships are made via the College's Top Things to Know e-newsletter. Separate applications and deadlines may apply.

The College of Business has scholarships available specifically for study abroad experiences. Funding from the College of Business is awarded through the Global Experience Office’s MAPS Scholarship Application.

All business students who apply for study abroad scholarships will be considered based on meeting individual scholarship qualifications, participating in a Nebraska-sponsored study abroad program, and having at least a 2.5 GPA.
