The finish line is in sight!

There is just one week left in Big Red Boost, and thanks to supporters like you, we’ve made great progress towards our goal!

The University of Nebraska Press is raising $5,250 to support one student for two semesters in our Nebraska Publishing Apprenticeship.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has given, shared, and championed this campaign. Your support is already making a difference and helping us move closer to our goal.

But we need one final push to reach our goal before the campaign ends on October 16.

Every gift—no matter the size—helps create opportunities and strengthens the impact of this project. If you’ve been considering making a gift, now is the perfect time. If you’ve already given, please consider sharing this campaign with friends, family, and fellow Huskers.

The Nebraska Publishing Apprenticeship is designed as a paid cohort experience for eight students at the University of Nebraska Press. Funding will sponsor one apprentice for two consecutive semesters, giving that student hands-on experience with real book and journal projects in editing, design, production, marketing, project coordination and scholarly communication. The apprentice will build a portfolio, receive professional mentorship and develop transferable career skills, with eligibility for a Denver Publishing Institute capstone pathway. Additional gifts will help extend this unique experiential learning opportunity to more students.

$5,250. One student. Two semesters. Paid publishing experience.
