The University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Goodrich Scholarship Program offers financial support and academic guidance for students entering or continuing at UNO. It is not a portable state award: the portal expressly says the scholarship is only for students attending that university. Its process combines admission, financial documents, and review stages, so applicants should coordinate the college and scholarship applications.
Current published criteria include Nebraska residency, no more than 31 college credits by May 2027, and FAFSA eligibility. The 2027 application runs October 1, 2026, through February 26, 2027, at 5 p.m. Central Time. Admission to UNO is required for final acceptance, and applicants must meet the university’s enrollment rules.
The portal first asks for the Goodrich information form and a UNO admission application. It also requires two recommendation forms, the 2027–28 FAFSA submission summary and processed Student Aid Index, high-school or GED records, and ACT/SAT scores. If FAFSA processing is not complete by the application deadline, students may attach the 2026–27 federal estimator, but the new FAFSA must still be processed before aid is awarded.
Verified applications may move to a timed essay and interview; meeting minimum criteria does not guarantee funding. Submit recommendations and transcripts separately when the portal requests them, since admissions may not forward documents to Goodrich. The program lists 402-554-2875 and unogoodrich@unomaha.edu for questions. Keep confirmations for each step and check the account for outstanding materials.
Confirm the academic year, local deadline and time, who must submit each document, and whether supplemental questions remain. Keep confirmations and recheck the portal after submitting. Ask the school’s financial-aid office how FAFSA, outside awards, and payments coordinate.
Read the aid-program profile and the FAFSA guide; confirm with the institution how funding is coordinated.
