Scholarships

Scholarships are awarded based on one or more of the following criteria:

  • academic merit
  • financial need
  • personal background

Some scholarships have specific requirements or conditions that must be met, and many are renewable each year. 

First year incoming freshman (those who have not previously attended another institution) are automatically considered for some academic scholarships once they have been offered admission to NAU.  Students who would like to be considered for a merit tuition scholarship should send in their undergraduate admission application, official transcript and official SAT and/or ACT scores as early as possible after the completion of their junior year.  To receive merit scholarships, the student must be a US citizen.
