- Generative AI use in Honors Program application essay
- All AI use in Kiewit Scholars application responses
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Honors Program application tips page states they are looking for authenticity, not perfection, and strongly advise against the use of generative AI (ChatGPT and similar) because those programs can't authentically represent an applicant's experience or voice. The Kiewit Scholars application goes further with an explicit AI Policy that asks applicants to refrain from all AI use as they craft their responses, emphasizing that content matters more than perfect polish. Neither program specifies disclosure requirements or describes enforcement mechanisms.
This research covers two programs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln: the University Honors Program (campus-wide) and the Kiewit Scholars program within the College of Engineering. The Honors Program application page explicitly states they 'strongly advise against the use of generative AI (ChatGPT and similar)' for the essay portion, citing authenticity concerns. The Kiewit Scholars application has a dedicated 'AI Policy' section stating 'We ask you to refrain from all AI use as you craft your responses.' Neither program mentions disclosure requirements, attestations, or specific enforcement/review mechanisms for AI use. The Honors Program application is plain text and undergoes comprehensive review, but no AI-specific screening is mentioned. Kiewit Scholars uses a holistic review process with interviews, but again no AI-specific verification is described. Both programs target incoming first-year undergraduate students. The Kiewit Scholars program is restricted to US citizens or permanent residents in specific engineering majors.
