Bellevue University's South Omaha Outreach is a special program initiative focused on enrolling, retaining, and educating residents of South Omaha and Bellevue in Nebraska. This culturally and economically diverse section of the greater Omaha area includes many Latino and low-income families. Bellevue University's main campus is located just a few miles from South Omaha, providing a small-school atmosphere close to home, work, and family.

Services Provided

Advising – One-on-one advising in both English and Spanish is given to prospective students throughout the admissions and financial aid process. Once enrolled, the personal attention continues as students’ individual academic progress is closely monitored to ensure successful completion of degree and certificate programs.

Tuition and emergency financial aid – Significant scholarship support is available for traditional, non-traditional and accelerated degree students. For non-traditional students, grants also may be awarded to offset child-care and transportation cost barriers.

Language instruction – Students who need to improve their knowledge of the English language before enrolling in college-level courses are able to take advantage of superior English as a Second Language instruction.
