The University of Nebraska’s campuses will waive the undergraduate admissions application fee for Nebraska students from Sept. 16 through Sept. 30, part of an ongoing system-wide effort to expand access and encourage college-going among students and families.
Beginning Friday, 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 can have the $45 application fee waived. All applicants for admission for the 2023-24 academic year are eligible for the waiver.
When applying, students should select “fee waiver” and enter the code “NUforNE” to have the fee waived.
“Access to higher education is as important now as it has ever been, and the University of Nebraska is doing everything we can to minimize costs for students and families,” says NU System President Ted Carter. “The application fee is real money. Offering this waiver is a simple step we can take to ensure access and opportunity for every Nebraska student.”
A system-wide fee waiver period was first launched in 2020, the result of a collaborative effort by admissions teams across the campuses to broaden access for students and increase the university’s visibility during a critical phase in the enrollment cycle.
