CALLING FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS The College of Business Administration (CBA) Scholars Academy is a community where high-achieving students develop their strengths, challenge their minds, engage with others, and invest in their futures.

Within a close-knit community of ambitious and high-achieving students, Scholars challenge themselves while pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

Throughout the four years in the program, Scholars are mentored by professionals in the Omaha community, enroll in special business courses taught by award-winning faculty, and gain real-world experience through community engagement and international travel.

SCHOLARSHIPS Through donor gifts, every Scholar receives a minimum $4,000 annual scholarship, for a total of $16,000. These scholarships may be stacked with most other scholarships and financial aid packages.
