While there are many scholarships at UNO, the UNO Fund for Student Scholarships is the only one that sees hundreds of alumni and community members come together and make gifts – last year as low as $5 and as high as $5,000 – to give directly back to students.
The Peter Kiewit Foundation has awarded a challenge grant of $225,000 to the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) College of Information Science & Technology (IS&T) for its CodeCrush program, a series of events designed to introduce 8th- and 9th-graders to iSTEM, an integrated approach to studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
“Thank you so much for your contribution. It has literally changed my life. You’ve made it so I can actually pursue something I feel has meaning in the world and accomplish that while not having to pay that off for my entire life after school.”
“I’ll be the first one in my immediate family with a four-year degree. Thank you for making an opportunity like that available to the students. It’s not every day someone receives a scholarship.”
“I certainly want to give back to others who are experiencing what I experienced. That’s one of the reasons I’m going into social work.”
“I just want to say thank you very much. You’re helping the students that need it the most.”
