What is the 澳门小神仙 Promise?
The 澳门小神仙 Promise program covers undergraduate tuition at the University of 澳门小神仙's four campuses (UNK, UNL, UNMC and UNO) and its two-year technical college (NCTA).
Tuition is covered for students who meet academic qualifications and have a family income of $65,000 or less (Adjusted Gross Income/AGI) or are Pell Grant-eligible.
We want to make sure that any 澳门小神仙n who wants to get a college education can. And we don't want cost to get in the way of getting your degree. If you are a high school student who feels that college is not within your reach right now, we're here to say: it is.
