Rules and policies that govern National University funded awards are as follows:

• To be considered for an award, students must apply and begin attending courses within the first three months of admission. Award recipients have twelve (12) months from the date of notification of the award to use funds, after which, all unused funds will be revoked.
• Funds will not be applied toward non-degree or certificate courses.
• Funds will only be applied toward courses the student has not yet attended.
• Funds will be not applied to past due balances.
• Funds are credited to a student's account in maximum increments of $500 per 4.5 unit course per month for the Collegiate Honor Award; $500 per 4.5 unit course per month for the Military Tuition Scholarship; up to the full cost of tuition per month for the Presidential Tuition Scholarship (up to $2500 total).
• Award funds will only be applied toward the tuition cost for academic coursework toward an intended degree objective.
• Awards are not transferable. Only one award can be received and used per degree objective, except for eligible Presidential Tuition applicants who may re-apply and may receive a new award each Fiscal Year while pursuing their first bachelor's degree.
• Awards are made to students for their intended degree objective at the time of application.
• Students who receive other educational assistance in excess of 90% of the cost of tuition for a course are not eligible to receive award funds for the course.
• Recipients must maintain good standing with the Student Accounts Office to ensure continuation of their award.
• This award may affect the amount of other financial aid for which a student may qualify, or the award may be reduced or nullified by other educational assistance and aid the student receives.
• Application of award funds toward a withdrawn course will be based on the charge incurred. If no charge, there will be no application of funds.
• Award funds must be used within twelve (12) months of the original award. Funds not used within twelve (12) months of the award are forfeited.
