The UNO Alumni Association has a long tradition of student scholarship support, issuing its first such award, the Daniel Jenkins Memorial Scholarship, in 1953 in honor of the university's first president. It since has issued scholarships to hundreds of students. Below are links to information about current funded scholarships. Endowed scholarships are held with the University of Nebraska Foundation.
Scholarships are funded in large measure through the UNO Chancellor's Scholarship Swing, a golf fundraiser the UNO Alumni Association hosts each year.
