The University of Nebraska system is temporarily waiving their application fee for students applying for Fall 2021 admission.
The University of Nebraska’s campuses will waive the undergraduate admissions application fee for Nebraska students from October 1st through October 18th. The University system says the move is part of a system-wide effort to expand access and encourage college-going among students and families.
Beginning Thursday, resident students using NU’s shared application for admission to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska at Omaha, University of Nebraska at Kearney and Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture may have the $45 application fee waived. Both first-time freshmen and transfer students applying for admission for fall 2021 are eligible for the waiver.
“Affordable access is the highest priority of the University of Nebraska,” said NU System President Ted Carter. “Especially during this challenging time, we’re doing everything we can to reduce potential barriers to education for students and families. Offering an application fee waiver is one more step we can take to support Nebraskans and further expand access – especially among low-income and first-generation students who have historically been underrepresented in higher education.”
When applying, students should select “fee waiver” and enter the code “NUforNE” to have the fee waived.
