Here at UNK we know it's our people who make the biggest difference. In the lives of our students, to our peers, to the people of Nebraska.
Students aren’t just another number at UNK. They’re treated as individuals with different learning styles, needs and expectations. Here, we know the individual students and help them based on their individual needs.
At UNK, faculty and staff care about the process of education. They present materials in a meaningful way and meet face-to-face with students as much as possible.
Collegebound Nebraska, the University's Tuition Assistance Program, is a guarantee of grant assistance that will cover full tuition (up to 15 credit hours of enrollment per semester) for up to five years at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. To qualify for this grant you must be a Nebraska resident, enrolled full time (minimum 12 hours) and be Pell Grant eligible. (Families whose incomes put them just beyond Pell eligibility may also qualify.) Furthermore, you must apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1st and, if applicable, fulfill UNK's request(s) for supplemental documentation for your financial aid file by June 1st.
List of Qualifications:
The Collegebound Nebraska guarantee means that we will ensure that some combination of grant and/or scholarship assistance will cover the tuition bill, whether that entails one grant or several added together. For more information, you may visit Collegebound Nebraska's website.

If you are a dependent of a soldier killed in action in Iraq or Afghanistan since September 11, 2001 and you are currently Federal Pell Grant eligible, you may be eligible for some additional Federal Pell Grant.
