South Omaha Outreach Program

South Omaha Outreach is a program initiative by Bellevue University to enroll, retain, and educate residents of South Omaha and Bellevue, a culturally and economically diverse section of the greater Omaha area that includes many Latino and low–income families. Bellevue University's main campus is located just a few miles from South Omaha, providing a small–school atmosphere close to home, work, and family.

Services Provided

Advising – Prospective students receive one–on–one advising in both English and Spanish throughout the admissions and financial aid process. Once enrolled, the personal attention continues (mandated for scholars) as students' individual academic progress is closely monitored to ensure successful completion of degree and certificate programs.

Tuition and emergency financial aid – Significant scholarship support is available for traditional, non-traditional and accelerated degree students. Grants may be awarded to non–traditional students to offset child–care and transportation cost barriers.

Language instruction – Students who need to improve their knowledge of the English language before enrolling in college–level courses may take advantage of superior English as a Second Language instruction.
