Scholarships

In addition to UNL scholarships, we are fortunate to have a good funding base for qualified Grazing Livestock Systems majors. GLS academic scholarships range from $500 to $2,000 per year, which can be added to other scholarships a student may receive.

We wish to acknowledge and thank the following sources of GLS scholarship funds:

Nebraska Sandhills Task Force, Joseph O. Young fund, and the Frank and Margaret Leu fund.

The deadline for current GLS students to apply for GLS scholarships for the upcoming academic year is April 1 of the previous year. Incoming students (freshmen and transfer for the coming semester) who are already admitted as a GLS major or are considering it should contact a GLS faculty member before completing the online application form.

In addition to the academic scholarships, GLS students may apply to be considered for partial scholarships to the following grazing-related events: Nebraska Grazing Conference, Nebraska Range Shortcourse, and Nebraska Ranch Practicum.

Announcements for both types of scholarships are issued to current GLS students early each calendar year, with decisions made before the end of the spring semester.
