I was curious about the history of the Husker Heritage award. I found posts about the George Beadle going back a number of years, but almost nothing on the Husker Heritage. I asked at a local Husker event for admitted students and was told that the HH is new for 2016-2017.
I think that they are trying to increase their academic standing and want to attract high-potential OOS students to help them get there.

I am a bit concerned about the discussion of state budget issues and how it might affect cost. Nothing has been finalized, but there has been discussion about two years of double-digit tuition increases.
Having already received our FA letter, is this year safe? I know that the letter is an estimate, but I would hope that any changes at this point would be fairly minor and not a 10% increase.
If it does affect this year, would the school let people know before May 1? It would be nice to know this before we are committed.

I also wonder how they would implement these increases, if it does happen. If everyone’s tuition goes up by 10%, it would be the HH recipients whose net COA would rise by the greatest percentage.
