University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Nebraska Kearney and University of Nebraska Lincoln Application News!
UNO has waived the $45 application fee (apply at: https://www.unomaha.edu/admissions/apply/index.php)
UNK has waived the fee for first time freshman if you use the code Lopers (apply at: https://www.unk.edu/admissions/undergraduate-application-options.php)
UNL is allowing students to apply for FREE until November 1, with the waiver code HUSKER (apply at: go.unl.edu/apply)
There are two ways to apply for admission to UNL:
1. Use the Nebraska Application (AKA MyRed Portal) - it can be used to apply to UNO and UNK at the same time! This is good if you don't want to complete the long CA application process.
2. Use the Common App (only use CA if you are applying to at least one more CA school!)
If you have questions, please reach out to your MNHS counselors!

Hello! The UNMC College of Allied Health Professions, College of Nursing and College of Pharmacy are teaming up to present UNMC Backstage Pass – a behind the scenes look at a multitude of health professions careers!
This is a free, hands-on event that includes lunch and is intended for individuals who want to explore health care professions more closely, specifically allied health, nursing and pharmacy programs.
Join us in Omaha on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025 from 9am – 12pm.
Please have each attendee (teachers & students) complete their own registration. Students can include the number of any guests they are bringing (e.g., parent, guardian, spouse, or other supporter) up to 3 people. If they plan to bring a friend or other individual who may be interested in participating in the event themselves, please ask that individual to complete their own registration instead of listing them as a guest. This will help us plan appropriately for lunch and event space. Directions, parking information and other logistical details will be sent the week of the event.
This is a great opportunity for teachers, advisors and/or counselors to bring students to engage in career awareness activities. While your students are exploring the different hands-on booths, you can join them or connect with members of our staff to ask any questions you may have about preparing your students for admissions to a health professions education program.
Please register to attend Backstage Pass here: Event Registration
*We will also be holding a Backstage Pass event on our Kearney campus on Wednesday, April 8, 2026!
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your time! Have a great day!

YMCA of Greater Omaha-Employee Benefit
We just wanted to share an amazing new benefit The YMCA has for all their YMCA of Greater Omaha employees that started this semester. They now have two fantastic partnerships with Creighton University and Clarkson College, employees and their dependents will now receive a discount on tuition. At Creighton University, students would receive 40% off their tuition rate as an employee in good standing at the YMCA of Greater Omaha, at Clarkson College students would receive 30% off their tuition rate.
If you a student/parent would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact the YMCA directly. College is expensive and the YMCA wants to make sure students know there are options for a flexible job with flexible schedules as well as help on those tuition bills – win/win!
