The Home of Persistent Student Success

Welcome to the nationally recognized and award-winning Goodrich Scholarship Program, an academic unit of the College of Public Affairs and Community Service.

Goodrich Scholarship Program was established in 1972

In 1972, Nebraska legislature established the Goodrich Scholarship Program that removes the obstacle of financial need to provide an exceptional meritorious educational program for all eligible Nebraska residents who otherwise could not afford it.

Since then, Goodrich has been making crucial differences for the good of Nebraska. Goodrich has produced over 3,000 graduates, many of whom now occupy leadership and other productive positions in the public, non-profit, and private sectors of the economy.

For over 50 years, Goodrich has provided an opportunity for any Nebraskan, from anywhere in the state, who has financial need and academic merit to earn a college degree at UNO.

Award-winning Program

Goodrich was the first UNO department to win the prestigious University of Nebraska systemwide departmental teaching award. Goodrich's award-winning professors, staff, and students continue to make Goodrich a place where STUDENTS ALWAYS come FIRST.
