Scholarships
Northwest's goal is to make higher education accessible to as many qualified students as possible. The University awards scholarships to students based on academic ability, financial need or a combination of both need and academic merit.
This is the foundation of the American Dream Grant, a program that helps to pay the cost of tuition, room, board and the use of a computer for financially qualified students during their first two years at Northwest.
