Incoming first-year mathematics majors who have graduated from a Nebraska high school are invited to apply for the Dean H. and Floreen G. Eastman Scholarship, which can award around $20,000 over a four-year period. The department awards several of these prestigious scholarships to incoming first-year students with mathematics declared as a major. This scholarship awards up to $5,000 for the first year at UNL, and students can re-apply every year for up to a total of four years. After completing an application for admission to NEBRASKA, all incoming first-year mathematics majors are encouraged to apply. The application period for the 2024-25 academic year is closed.
