A Maverick is an independent thinker—someone who isn't afraid to go against the grain and explore without the fear of failing. At UNO, our Mavericks are asking questions and making change all across the world. Nominate your Maverick in the Making today and give them the chance to start big.
Here’s how it works :
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) is recognizing high school seniors who are making a difference in our communities through our "Maverick in the Making" Scholarship.
Complete the nomination form in the link below to nominate your Maverick in the Making. Each month, a team at UNO will review submissions and select our next Maverick in the Making winner who will receive a certificate and scholarship to UNO for $4,000.
We will film award recipients at their schools, receiving their award during the school day. Video footage of your Maverick receiving their scholarship will air on KETV's Saturday morning news.
Submissions are accepted year-round.
Disclaimer: The Maverick in the Making Scholarship is worth $1,000 each year, or $4,000 over a four-year undergraduate career. This scholarship is contingent on admission to UNO and full-time enrollment for Fall 2022. Renewal of this scholarship for each subsequent year is dependent upon the recipient maintaining full-time enrollment status and maintaining good Academic standing at UNO. Please refer to your scholarship notification letter and agreement for more details.
