Scholarship
At Nebraska Wesleyan University, we believe
our most important investment is in our students. We believe
that outstanding students should be rewarded for their efforts.
Most importantly, we believe that financial limitations should
not be a barrier to qualified students desiring to attend
this institution.
In spite of the financial and educational
value of a Wesleyan education, this opportunity is beyond
the means of many students for one basic reason: cost. With
tuition, room and board totaling over $20,000 in 2006-2007,
many students rule a Wesleyan education out on this factor
alone. Of those who do enroll, roughly 90% will need assistance
to finance their education.
Facts about Nebraska Wesleyan Scholarships:
- Wesleyan awards over $8.75 million in scholarships
each year.
- Scholarships represent almost 30% of Wesleyan's
total budget expenditures.
- 86% of Wesleyan students
receive academic scholarships.
- 70% of Wesleyan students receive
need-based financial aid.
- Nebraska private colleges receive .7% of
Nebraska's state and local tax support for higher education,
yet graduate more than 1/3 of the total bachelors degrees
in the state.
