Scholarships
Highly qualified students are nominated by the department for highly competitive university-level scholarships (e.g., Regents Tuition Waiver). Non-Nebraska residents are eligible to receive the UNO Advantage Scholarship, a tuition scholarship that awards an amount up to the difference between resident and non-resident tuition.
Each April, for the following academic year, the Department of Economics awards a Barbara Miller Scholarship, Horace and Kate King Wu Scholarship, Mark Wohar Scholarship, and a Bun Song Lee Scholarship to Economics graduate students. The scholarship amounts typically range from $800-$2,500.
