The Office of Academic Success and Intercultural Services (OASIS) at UNL wants to share with you an opportunity for students to apply for the Juan Franco Scholarship. The Juan N. Franco Legacy Scholarship, formerly known as the Hope for the Future Scholarship, was created in the Fall of 2016. Students who led the creation of the scholarship believed in the importance of quality higher education. Through education, students are given the opportunity to become productive and informed members of our community. Unfortunately, many undocumented and DACAmented students are unable to access state and federal financial aid that makes a university education an option for many families. As a result, members of the Define American Chapter at UNL, with the great help of Dr. Juan Franco, whom he may rest in peace, worked to make this scholarship a reality.
The scholarship is now open and will be closed on March 20th. The qualifications for the scholarships:
Not qualified for financial aid
High school GPA of 2.5 or higher
College GPA of 2.5 or higher
Must be enrolled or plan to enroll at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
