Invest in the Scholars Academy

The Scholars Academy is only possible through private financial gifts, which fund scholarships, international experiences, and Scholar programming. Without these, the Scholars Academy could not invest in the lives of these high-achieving students.

Scholarship support makes a difference

Scholarships play an important role in recruiting and retaining the best business students. With this financial support, the Scholars are able to be partners with their communities, whether that’s being president of a student organization, creating and managing a community service project, or mentoring the next cohort of leaders.

Each Scholar receives a minimum $5,000 annual scholarship, awarded over four years, for a total of $20,000—all of which are provided through private gifts. Our next goal is to offer each Scholar a minimum $7,000 annual scholarship, which will only be possible through additional gifts.

CBA scholars widen their horizons

International experiences are a vital part of a Scholar’s experience in the program. Studying abroad allows students to experience first-hand the dynamics at play in today’s increasingly connected world, all while making them more capable and more marketable to future employers.

The annual study abroad trip costs around $60,000 and we are looking for partial or complete sponsors for this life-changing experience for our junior class.

Experiences enrich their education

The Scholars Academy also provides activities designed to create camaraderie and teamwork within and among the cohorts through retreats, community service projects, and other scheduled learning opportunities. Without these activities, the Academy would be only a scholarship program instead of an immersive leadership development program.

Support the academy

Financial gifts to the Academy make both an immediate and long-term impact on the Scholars, helping support these and other activities enrich Scholars’ education and college experiences.

Gifts may go to a specific need, as stated above, or be invested in the CBA Scholars Academy Excellence Fund, which funds all aspects of the program.

GIVE TO THE SCHOLARS ACADEMY

“Scholarships have given me the foundation I need to explore myself as a student and future business professional by allowing me to focus on my education and not on how I will be able to afford attending UNO.”

- Dominika Jedinak, 2015 Cohort
