The following rules and regulations govern the institutional scholarships offered by North American University:

1. Availability of scholarships may be limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
2. Scholarships are only available for fall and spring semesters and are not valid during summer terms.
3. Students must maintain full-time (12+ credit hours) enrollment each semester to qualify for scholarships. Award amounts will be pro-rated for students in their final semester before graduation with less than 12 credit hours needed to complete their program.
4. Scholarships will be adjusted to reflect changes in a student’s enrollment status up until the campus census date each semester.
5. The NAU Grants & Scholarship Committee meets annually to review each student’s scholarship eligibility for renewal consideration each summer. Students will be notified of their new scholarship eligibility prior to the start of the fall semester.
6. To be eligible for scholarship review, students must attempt at least 18 credit hours and meet the minimum CGPA requirements by the annual evaluation and renewal period.
   • Students who meet or exceed the CGPA requirements will automatically qualify to renew their current Academic Merit Scholarship. Resident students that exceed CGPA requirements may also be eligible to receive an Academic Excellence Award.
   • If the eligibility requirements are not met, the Academic Merit Scholarship will decrease by one level each evaluation period. Academic Excellence Awards may increase or decrease based on the student’s CGPA and will be replaced with the appropriate level each evaluation period.
   • Students with less than 18 credits attempted are not eligible for review and will retain their current scholarship award until the next evaluation and renewal period.
   • Remedial courses count towards the number of credit hours attempted but do not affect the student’s CGPA.
7. All students attending the 2021-2022 academic year will transition to the new scholarship program starting Fall 2022. These students will be evaluated and awarded automatically. No application is required.
   • Students who have earned 18 or more credit hours while attending NAU will be awarded scholarships according to the Continuing Student qualifying criteria.
   • Students who have earned less than 18 credit hours while attending NAU will be awarded according to the Freshman or Transfer Student qualifying criteria, as applicable. These students will be evaluated by the Record’s Office for scholarship eligibility based on the admissions documents received
8. NAU reserves the right to reduce or terminate a student’s scholarship at any time, for any reason, without prior notice.
