Financial Aid
National University students may be eligible for financial aid or scholarships to help defer or delay the costs of their education and related expenses. The purpose of financial aid is to bridge the gap between educational cost and a student's resources. It is not intended to directly provide money for living expenses. Financial aid is available in the form of grants, loans and scholarships. To establish students eligibility for aid, they will need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application must be completed each fiscal year they request financial aid at National University.
