LINCOLN, Neb.-- The University of Nebraska is expanding its promise of free tuition to qualifying students.
The University's Nebraska promise, launched in 2020, offered tuition-free attendance to students with family incomes of $60,000 or less. In a recent announcement, the University has increased this threshold to $65,000 or less.
According to the University, more than 7,000 students are attending tuition-free through the Nebraska Promise.
They estimate another 175 students will be eligible with the new income threshold.
University President Ted Carter, says the new increase is meant to match the State's current median income.
The Nebraska Promise Expansion takes effect this fall.
