Student funding
The department offers scholarships twice per academic year to students. Scholarships ranging from $100 - $2,000 are given out at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee, depending on the number of applicants and available funds. The largest awards are reserved for students who major in a language, with minors receiving next highest awards.
Questions about the DMLL-specific scholarships can be emailed to modlang2@unl.edu. For general scholarship and financial aid information, visit the university’s Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid Office website.
