Go Further, Faster at National University

National University is excited to announce our partnership with this year’s Carlsbad 5000, the “World’s Fastest 5K” and want to help you Go Further, Faster with two $5,000 scholarship opportunities for new students and returning alumni who have not yet started a program.

The scholarship can be applied to any of our bachelor’s or master’s degree programs – all offering year-round enrollment and convenient four-week course formats – so that you can start sooner, finish faster, and get on the road to success.

“National University’s four-week class format allows me to still spend quality time with my family.”
