Scholarships

Every year, Nova Southeastern University offers a multitude of scholarships to reward academic excellence and leadership potential in undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional students. Thanks to generous donations, NSU provides substantial university and college scholarships annually, including awards for both new and returning students.

Search and apply for as many scholarships as you qualify for and be sure to regularly visit this site to discover newly added opportunities. Most institutional scholarships become available in March and have deadlines in May/June. If you are an NSU employee using a tuition waiver, you are ineligible for institutional scholarships. Please note that institutional scholarship funds can only be paid toward NSU tuition charges incurred. Provided renewal requirements are met, institutional scholarships can be renewed annually for a maximum of four academic years or until degree completion, whichever comes first.

NSU Scholarship Search Tool Tips

By selecting “Student Affairs”, “Other,” or “ESS Scholarship Department Awards” you can locate scholarships that are available to students from many different NSU colleges and centers.
You don’t have to enter/select all information to conduct a search. For instance, some scholarships do not have GPA or residence requirements. Conduct a search of institutional scholarships and leave the GPA and/or the residence selection blank to locate these scholarships.
Regularly visit the featured scholarships page. These scholarships are updated weekly and are normally only available for a short period of time.
NSU offers many scholarships to entering high school students, including academic scholarships such as the NSU President’s Scholarship and the NSU Dean’s Scholarship, as well as co-curricular scholarships such as the Razor’s Edge Scholarship. To identify many other NSU scholarships, conduct a broad search by inserting your high school GPA and selecting “institutional” as your category. This type of search will produce all institutional scholarships you may be eligible for based on your high school GPA.
