## About this scholarship

The Nebraska Opportunity Grant (NOG), administered by the Nebraska Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education, provides financial assistance to students pursuing higher education. The program is designed specifically for Nebraska residents who are enrolled at participating postsecondary institutions within the state. To be considered for this state grant, students must first apply for admission to their chosen college or university. Additionally, applicants must complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The financial aid office at the student's chosen institution uses the FAFSA data to determine eligibility and process the award. Because funding and specific institutional requirements can vary, applicants should contact their school's financial aid office directly to confirm any additional steps or documentation needed.
