Financial aid

Our faculty has been successful in securing financial assistance for students through grants from the US Department of Education. This assistance is available for limited periods of time and is constantly changing.

If you meet all of our program requirements, you may be eligible for an assistantship. Graduate assistantships are offered through our Graduate Studies Office as well as some other departments.

The number of these positions is limited, and you must apply early in the semester before the one in which you need the assistantship.

If you receive an assistantship, we expect you to carry 9-12 credit hours per semester, and we assign you responsibilities to which you must devote a specified number of hours each week. 

NAU offers a monthly payment plan for tuition payments. See the bursar's page for more information.

Placement assistance

Formal assistance with placement is available through the university’s Gateway Student Success Center.

Our faculty members may be able to assist you with informal placement assistance.

We have established contacts with school administrators throughout the region and frequently receive requests for names of prospective teachers from employers in Arizona schools.
