The University of Nebraska–Lincoln will join its Big Ten institutional partners for One Big Week Oct. 15-22. The weeklong event challenges university communities to harness their school pride to support access to quality education and student services.

Nebraska alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students can participate by making a gift to the  N Fund – Student Scholarships, which provides scholarships based on academic performance and financial need. Gifts may be made through the University of Nebraska Foundation at nfund.org/onebigweek.

UNL is a leader in offering an affordable and accessible education, and student scholarships are key to this success. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid processes nearly 40,000 financial aid awards to UNL students totaling more than $330 million. By offering financial assistance through scholarships, UNL students can access a world-class education and pursue their academic and professional goals right here in Nebraska.

“We want students and families to know Nebraska is here to help make a distinctive Big Ten college education affordable and accessible,” said Justin Chase Brown, Ph.D., director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid and interim director of Husker Hub. To learn more about available scholarships, go to financialaid.unl.edu/scholarships.
