Here is a short video showing you how to get to the Diversity Enhancement Application in MyRED:

Scott Campus (Omaha) Instructions: To apply, you must first be admitted to the University of Nebraska Omaha and the College of Engineering. Once admitted, access UNO's Scholarship Application at http://unomaha.academicworks.com. Complete UNO's general scholarship application. Once you're through that, you'll see "Other Recommended Opportunities." See below for a screenshot. Select "Multicultural Engineering Program" and/or "Women in Engineering Program" (may be on the next page) to access the MEP/WIE apps. You must complete the essays required for the program in this application in order to be considered. Applications are due February 1.

It is recommended that you apply for this program and scholarships on both campuses if you are considering both campuses. If you are admitted to both campuses and apply for this program only on one of the campuses, we will still consider you for the other campus as well. It does make it a little smoother of a process! The questions are the same, and by filling out UNO's Scholarship Application in addition, you might find that you qualify for more scholarships than you initially knew about.

Yes, you may apply to both the Multicultural Engineering Program and the Women in Engineering Program on both campuses. In fact, if you're interested in both, we encourage you to apply to both. However, you can only be selected for one program. The programs share a lot of the same benefits, and they are open for anyone to apply.

There is no residency requirement for the MEP, so it does not conflict! We simply encourage students to consider the time commitments required for the things they wish to do on campus. If you plan well, you will be able to do both with no problems. 

These programs do not directly conflict! We simply encourage students to consider the time commitments required for the things they wish to do on campus. If you plan well, you will be able to do both with no problems.

You will be notified by March 1 and you will have until May 1 to formally accept or decline your place in the program. Should you decide early, we welcome your commitment!

It is not a requirement that you pursue any of those opportunities, but we hope that you will be open-minded to consider if any of them will help you reach your goals in the future. Your program coordinator will bring them up to begin discussing your options for educational experiences outside of the classroom, but you will be supported to pursue the ones you want.

Of course not! Your program coordinator will be available for as many meetings and check-ins as you’d like. These numbers indicate the minimum number of 1:1 meetings per semester. You are encouraged to reach out whenever you want or need support, connection, or just a friendly face.
