Scholarships by academic department 

Many academic colleges and departments offer a limited number of graduate scholarships. Deadlines vary, so become familiar with the application process and deadlines by visiting your program, department, and/or college websites. 

NAU Foundation Scholarships 

There are two separate applications for NAU Foundation scholarships:

  • Available through the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid
  • Available through the NAU Foundation

To find out your maximum eligibility, students must complete both applications.

Some university scholarships are need-based; therefore, you should also file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Visit the Office of Student Financial Aid for more information.


External fellowships and scholarships

Office of National and International Scholarships and Fellowships 

The Office of National and International Scholarships and Fellowships provides information on national and international scholarship and fellowship opportunities.
