Nebraska students are guaranteed total grant assistance equal to, orgreater than, the full cost of tuition provided they:

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1 each year,
• Complete the financial aid process by June 1 and
• Are found to be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant (federal grants for students from low-income families).

You may also qualify for Collegebound Nebraska assistance even if you aren't eligible for a Pell Grant. A typical family of four with one in college and an income of $45,000 or less may qualify for Collegebound Nebraska assistance.

To be considered for Collegebound Nebraska tuition assistance, you must complete your FAFSA by April 1 and complete the financial aid process by June 1 of the calendar year prior to fall enrollment. But don't wait until the last minute. Funds are available on a first come, first served basis. So, the sooner you submit your information, the better.
