NAU educational financing options, scholarships, and waivers

How do you plan to pay for your college education? Will you take out loans or apply for scholarships and grants? It is a requirement that you complete the application for the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to receive any financial aid at NAU. Northern Arizona University awards scholarships based on academic merit, financial need, and personal background, and these financial aid awards do not have to be repaid.  Find out all about the NAU financing options for both undergraduate and graduate students by visiting the NAU scholarships and waivers web page.
