Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation Scholarship

The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation funds a need-based scholarship for Nebraska high school graduates enrolling as first-time freshmen at a Nebraska public college or university. Applicants must be Nebraska residents, complete the FAFSA, and submit the Foundation's own online scholarship application. Awards are limited, so not every eligible applicant receives one. The Foundation does not publish a fixed award amount; Nebraska public university financial aid offices have listed it at roughly $12,800. The 2027 application opens November 1, 2026 and is due February 1, 2027.
