Nebraska Opportunity Grant 2024-25 Year-End Report
Nebraska's Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education
The Nebraska Opportunity Grant (NOG) program provides financial aid to students who are residents of Nebraska; have not earned a bachelor's, graduate, or professional degree; have high financial need (defined as having an expected family contribution equal to or less than 110% of the maximum family contribution that qualifies students for a federal Pell Grant); and who are attending eligible Nebraska colleges and universities to earn a degree or credential. The NOG program uses information from the federal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as the basis for determining eligibility. This report includes charts showing the number of Nebraska students who received a federal Pell grant and the unmet financial need of these students as reported by the institutions. The remainder of the report reflects various details specifically related to the NOG program, broken out by sector. The report shows that the NOG program is an important part of the overall financial aid strategy of postsecondary institutions and that many eligible students are not served by the NOG program due to lack of funding.
