Description

Students who are eligible for a need-based Northwestern Scholarship may receive a named endowed scholarship. These scholarships are established by individuals who care deeply about the University and its mission. A named endowed scholarship does not change the total amount of financial aid awarded. Funds awarded through endowed scholarships replace the amount of any NU grant on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on fund restrictions. Scholarships are awarded to students who meet the criteria specific to each fund. There are no additional application materials required, students are automatically considered for these funds when they apply for financial aid. Selection is based on a student's match with a donor's criteria.
