Scholarships

The Scholarship program at Bellevue University is designed to recognize outstanding academic achievement by incoming freshmen, transfer students and exceptional scholastic performance by upper-class students already in attendance. Other considerations may include extracurricular activities, personal recommendations and financial need. Scholarship funds are provided through a variety of sources and donors. Special ability scholarships are awarded in selected areas of proficiency such as athletics, art, languages and special projects. Application deadlines are posted on the appropriate applications.

Bellevue University welcomes scholarship applications from students with a record of academic achievement. Bellevue University scholarships are awarded in accordance with general federal guidelines and in conjunction with other types of financial aid in the form of a financial aid package. The package reflects direct educational costs (tuition, books, and fees) and family contributions/financial eligibility.

In addition to our institutional scholarship program at Bellevue University, we also receive information from outside sources offering scholarship opportunities. Some are very general in nature while others are specific to particular areas of interest such as business administration or computer information systems. Information specific to a particular degree is forwarded to the College it pertains to as well as posted in the financial aid area of the Durham Administration Building. Applications and/or information regarding the scholarships offered can be received at the Financial Aid Office.

In addition to the scholarship information we receive from other sources, we also have access to a scholarship database called Tuition Funding Sources (TFS) that is available free of charge to those seeking scholarship information. TFS is available via CD-ROM in the campus library and is available in the computer lab, as well. Another excellent source of free scholarship information is available through the Education Quest Foundation located in Omaha at 11031 Elm Street (Rock Brook Village).
