- Scholarships will be provided up to five years for a four-year college or up to three years for two-year schools or until graduation with a bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first.
- Students on scholarship may not drop out for a period of time and be reinstated as a scholarship recipient.
For students receiving a scholarship:
- You must maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA or greater
- Your grades must be e-mailed to the scholarship office*, along with your intended date of graduation, no later than:
• June 1 for the spring semester

No financial aid can be sent until your grades are received.
*A copy of your grades and intended date of graduation must be sent to the Foundation office by e-mail:

- ALL NON-WORKING STUDENTS MUST ENROLL FOR AT LEAST 12 CREDIT HOURS PER SEMESTER, or you must explain any unusual or significant circumstances that would necessitate taking fewer credit hours.
- ALL WORKING STUDENTS MUST CARRY AN ACADEMIC LOAD OF AT LEAST 9 CREDIT HOURS.
Payments are for actual charges up to the maximum amount of $3,600 per semester and are paid directly to the school. Payments will not be made by The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation until billings are received from the university. For some schools, this can be as late as November. If you receive a notice for unpaid tuition, check with your financial aid office to see if they have billed the Foundation and have not yet received payment.
If you transfer to a different Nebraska public university, college or community college, your scholarship will continue provided you:
- Have notified the Foundation in advance of your transfer
- Have followed all rules in maintaining your grades
It is the responsibility of the student to reimburse The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation for any dropped classes that have already been paid for by the Foundation.
In most instances, your following semester's tuition will be reduced by this amount.
You must notify the Foundation immediately of any change in name, address, phone number or e-mail as long as you are receiving a Susan Thompson Buffett Scholarship. All correspondence will be done via e-mail so it is imperative that we have your current e-mail address on file.
