Financing Your Education
Finances
Before deciding to attend Northwest, you should examine your financial situation very carefully.
The Department of Homeland Security requires Northwest to certify that international students have been accepted for full-time enrollment and have sufficient funding to meet all expenses for tuition, housing, transportation, etc. Northwest requires a Statement of Support and bank statement from the student's family, sponsor, or government.
The Statement of Support certifies that funds for tuition, room and board, as well as personal funds are available, and that the student is permitted to export and exchange those funds into the U.S. I-20 form cannot be issued without this certification.

Financial Assistance
The University's sources of financial assistance to international students are limited. There is no need-based financial assistance available for undergraduate international students. However, there may be academic-based scholarships available to students with exceptional scores on the ACT or SAT. The current scholarship amounts can be found in the following fee sheets.
United States embassies and major binational culture centers can provide information about other sources of financial aid. Students may wish to contact the Institute of International Education, Latin American Scholarship Program of American Universities, American Friends of the Middle East, African-American Institute and the American-Korean Foundation.
