Welcome to the Young Scholars Program!

Students selected for Young Scholars receive a financial scholarship, and become a part of a community of students that receive academic, social, and career development support throughout their undergraduate careers.

This support occurs in a variety of ways including regular meetings with an academic mentor, weekly study hours, group service projects, peer mentoring, involvement in UNO student organizations and activities, and various social activities on and off campus.
