Goodrich offers additional academic and financial support opportunities for our scholars to achieve success.
The Stephenson-Harrington Internship
Scholars pursuing any major who have completed 50 credit hours at UNO and maintained a cumulative 3.0 GPA are eligible to apply and upon acceptance are placed in sites in the community or in major-related offices on campus.
Scholars work for no more than 10 hours a week and receive approximately $1200 for the fall semester. All interns also enroll in a one-hour per week seminar (for which they receive 1-3 hours of Public Administration credit). The Stephenson-Harrington Internship has existed since 1992 and is well-regarded on campus and in the community.

The Brittany Williams Memorial Scholarship Award
This scholarship is awarded to a Goodrich Scholar and/or an Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority member in memory of Brittany Williams, an extremely promising Goodrich scholar in her junior year and an AKA member. Her January 2008 tragic death prompted the launching of the scholarship fund. The award is given yearly to a junior (58-90 credit hours) with a cumulative GPA above 3.0 (with no Ws or Fs or AUs or NCs). A brief essay must be submitted within the application period.
For further information, contact Troy Romero, Ph.D. at 402.554.3466.
Alice Romero Memorial Student Support Fund
Started by Goodrich Scholarship Program alumnus Gabe Romero, the Alice Romero Memorial Student Support Fund offers funding to students enrolled in the Goodrich Scholarship Program, enabling them to graduate sooner and with less debt. To be eligible, a student must be a Goodrich scholar with (1) junior or senior standing, (2) a cumulative 3.0 GPA or above, and (3) support living a drug-free lifestyle, as determined through an essay that must be submitted at a to be determined date in March.
