The Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community (ELLC) is open to students of any field of study at UNO. Students who are accepted into the Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community as a freshman will live in Scott Village during their freshman year.

Students will also receive one Entrepreneurship Scholarship, with the possibility of renewal for returning sophomores. Scholarships for freshman is in the form of up to $1,500 of travel with the ELLC to visit entrepreneurial hotspots like San Francisco and Austin. Additional $500 startup grants are also available. Scholarships can be renewed for a select group of returning sophomores who provide leadership to the ELLC.

When applying for housing, students should select Scott Village as their first housing preference and indicate their interest in the Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community. Students accepted into the ELLC are GUARANTEED housing on campus. The ELLC does not pay for your housing costs.

The Entrepreneurship Community Scholarship may be stacked with other UNO scholarships, except Scott Scholars.

Students in the Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community are required to take an entrepreneurship class together as a cohort in the Fall semester of freshman and sophomore year. High school GPA and ACT (or SAT) scores are pulled from the university application; however, GPA or test scores are not the deciding factor. Rather, we want to learn about your interest and accomplishments in innovation and entrepreneurship. Priority will be given to early applicants.
