  • Have applied to the university by October 6, 2025 with an expected start date that is October 27, 2025 or earlier.

  • NU will verify applicants’ Financial Eligibility before confirming final awards.

Selection Process

  • The recipient of this grant will be selected by the NU grant selection committee, consisting of representatives from NU and according to the processes and procedures used in connection with the selection of recipients for all NU scholarships and grants, which are updated from time to time. Non-faculty members may assist in the selection committee process on a case-by-case basis and in NU’s sole discretion. 
  • Should NU, in its sole discretion, determine that the Renewal Grant selection, or any other process has been compromised by virus, bugs, tampering, disruptions, hackers, or other causes beyond its control, NU reserves the right to disqualify prospective students suspected to be involved, and/or terminate such selection or other process and choose the awardees in a fair and reasonable manner from among all eligible prospective students prior to such termination. All decisions of NU are final. No appeals will be considered.
  • Regardless of any action taken by NU pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, nothing shall prohibit NU from seeking any other  remedies to which NU may be entitled whether at law or in equity, in the event any representations or releases made by the Scholarship applicant or recipient are false.
  • Award Use:
    • Grants that are awarded to the recipients may only be credited to their accounts and used to assist with the payment of their tuition in an eligible program and are not redeemable in cash.
    • Grants funding is applied at $500 per course for the first two courses of the program.
    • No student will receive more than one offer of assistance from NU, such as other scholarships, grants, technology awards, etc.
    • Any grant funds that are awarded may not be used for the purchase of books, any fees that may be applicable to their degree program, room and board, or outside materials (computers, internet service etc.).
  • Grant funding can only be used for programs beginning December 1, 2025 through January 26, 2026.
  • For applicants using Federal Financial Aid (FFA), the applicant understands that a scholarship award is financial assistance and counts toward the student’s cost of attendance. As such, the amount of FFA available to the student may be impacted. The Student Financial Services team will conduct a financial review of all grant winners and articulate any changes needed to the respective recipients.
  • Any courses accepted as transfer from another school to an NU degree plan will only reduce the necessary coursework required to complete a degree at NU and will not result in any additional unused scholarship funds.
  • Courses taken under the grant may be recorded against the student’s calendar year 1098-T.

MAINTAINING ELIGIBILITY

  • All  student policies located in the NU Catalog, the Privacy Policy, Conditions of Use page,  and these Terms and Conditions must be adhered to while the recipient is a student at NU.
  • For the duration of the award, students must be succeeding in their degree program. The student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 for undergraduate students and 3.0 for graduate students.
  • The first two courses of the program to be funded under the grant must be taken consecutively with no break in between.
  • Should a grant recipient withdraw or be dismissed from NU prior to disbursement of all scholarship funds awarded to them, the balance of the tuition funds awarded, but not disbursed, will be terminated and will not be available to the student for future courses.
  • If a grant recipient withdraws from a course or receives a non-passing grade, the cost to retake the course later will not be discounted by the Renewal Grant.

Scholarship funds may only be applied to courses in the recipient’s original academic program.
