College Scholarships for Nebraska Students

College Scholarships

The Susan T. Buffett Foundation (STBF) has offered scholarships to college students in Nebraska for 60 years. Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to first-time freshman entering college who live in Nebraska, graduate from a Nebraska high school (or GED) with plans to attend a Nebraska public college, and demonstrate financial need. There are a limited number of scholarships, so the Foundation is unable to provide awards to all eligible candidates.
