Grants

NAU students may qualify for various “gift aid” awards

Grants can come from many different sources including the federal government, state government or from the University itself.  They can be referred to as “gift aid” as typically they do not require repayment.  Under certain circumstances (such as Return to Title IV) a portion or all of grant funds may need to be repaid.  Additionally, some grants require certain criteria be met so that the funds do not have to be repaid. Whether you are a resident or non-resident of Arizona, as an NAU student you might qualify for various grant awards.  This funding is often based on a student’s financial need.
