2024-2025 Scholarships
This year our goal is to provide two scholarships totaling $2,400 ($1,200 each) to graduating seniors at Omaha South Magnet School who are accepted to the University of Nebraska at Omaha and will enroll in full time (12 credit hours) the upcoming semester.
While still important, this scholarship is not solely about the grades/GPA - only a 3.0 minimum will be required.
We ask that all applicants provide examples of good character, leadership qualities, and demonstrate an interest in business through choice of classes, work experience, or extracurricular activities.
Applicants must provide current or previous involvement in at least one extracurricular activity or sports program while high school students.
Below are a series of questions we ask each applicant to complete so we can learn as much as possible about the individual.
What is your favorite holiday and why?
What is your favorite type of cuisine, and why do you love it?
If you could start any business, what would it be?
What was the best piece of advice your parents or another adult ever gave you?
What are some qualities you value most in others?
Are you a senior graduating from Omaha South Magnet High School?
Will you be enrolled full-time at the University of Nebraska at Omaha in Fall 2025?
Is your GPA a 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale?
What characteristics, leadership qualities, and interests in business do you have?
Is your major a business degree? If not, what other classes/minors are you pursing in business?
What extracurricular activities do you participate in?
The deadline for applications is January 31, 2025.
