Nebraska Opportunity Grant (NOG)
Nebraska Opportunity Grant (NOG) is Nebraska’s only need-based financial aid program for postsecondary students attending eligible in-state colleges and universities.
Unlike the Nebraska Promise, which is specific to the University of Nebraska system, the NOG can be used at almost any eligible public or private college in the state.
Funds are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis to the neediest students who submit their FAFSA by the priority deadline.
