To access the Goodrich Scholarship Application, please make an account by clicking the "register" button. All steps for the online application process are summarized below. This scholarship program is for students attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha only.

Goodrich Scholarship Program Application Process

Application Open: October 1, 2024 – February 27, 2025, at 5:00 PM (CST)

Goodrich Application Requirements:

1. Goodrich Scholarship Information Form [PLEASE COMPLETE THIS STEP FIRST!]

This form is found in the application portal: goodrich.smapply.org. 

2. University of Nebraska at Omaha – Application for Admission

Applicants must complete an Undergraduate Application for Admission to UNO. To complete this, visit: Apply for Admission to UNO | Admissions | University of Nebraska Omaha (unomaha.edu). Any questions or assistance needed regarding the application can be directed to the UNO Admissions office at 402.554.2393. Admission to UNO is required prior to final acceptance by the Goodrich Scholarship Program. 

3. Two Recommendation Forms

Two recommendation forms are required for submission through the application portal. Forms are to be completed by teachers, counselors, employers, or other professionals who are not family members or friends. Each applicant is responsible for verifying that the Goodrich Scholarship Program receives the two recommendations by the deadline (updates for recommendation forms are found in the online application).

4. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Upon completing the 2025-2026 FAFSA through studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa, applicants must provide the Goodrich office with proof of completion including the FAFSA Submission Summary and a processed Student Aid Index (previously called expected family contribution [EFC]) through application upload, email, fax, in-person, or postal mail. To accommodate the application deadline and to enable Goodrich to preliminarily assess an applicant’s financial need, the applicant can also complete the 2025-2026 Federal Student Aid Estimator online at studentaid.gov/aid-estimator. All pages of this estimate must be included in the submission.

Note: If an applicant uses the Federal Student Aid Estimator, the applicant must still complete and process all documents for the FAFSA before Goodrich can award any scholarship.

5. High School Transcripts, ACT/SAT Scores, and College Transcripts (if applicable)

Unofficial high school (or GED) transcripts and ACT/SAT scores with the applicant’s name are required. Applicants are to submit college transcripts if applicable. ACT/SAT scores can be uploaded separately or included on the applicant’s high school/college transcript.

Note: Although these items are also requested for your Undergraduate Application for Admission, Goodrich cannot request transcripts and ACT/SAT scores from the UNO Admissions office. Applicants must upload transcripts/scores through the Goodrich application portal.

Eligible applicants with complete and submitted online applications will then be invited to complete two additional steps: 1) to write a personal essay, and 2) to complete an interview. Please call or email us at 402.554.2274 or unogoodrich@unomaha.edu with any questions.
