Secure Your Education with Scholarships at 91¿ì²¥ University
An affordable liberal arts education in Nebraska? Yes way.
Don't let the phrase "private college" scare you. National data shows that liberal arts colleges give better scholarships, more financial aid, and students graduate on time at a higher rate than public universities. We encourage students to do their own research to determine which financial pathway is best suited for their needs.
