Scholarships and Financial Aid
Scholarships
NWU awards scholarships based on academic performance, talent, need and other factors. We also connect students and families with additional outside scholarship opportunities.
Learn about scholarship sources, amounts and criteria.
Grants
Grants represent money for college from federal, state or other sources that need not be repaid.
Find out about a variety of grant opportunities.
Loans
Student loans fall into two categories: subsidized and unsubsidized. Subsidized loans don’t begin charging interest until after you’re out of school. Unsubsidized ones are less restrictive, but begin charging interest earlier.
Learn about loans in both categories.
Campus Employment
Approximately 600 NWU students have jobs all over campus. Oftentimes, their work responsibilities complement their areas of study and career goals.
