Scholarships help recruit bright, talented students from all walks of life to NIU by making it a more attractive, affordable option – Prospective NIU freshmen report that “good value” is one of the top three factors they consider in their college selection process. Their parents rated financial assistance as one of their top three factors.

Scholarships help recruit top students across the state – and beyond.

Scholarships keep students in school – 94 percent of our undergraduates are left with unmet need after all forms of federal, state and institutional aid are applied. Scholarships help bring these students to NIU and keep them in school once they arrive. In fact, nine out of 10 NIU Foundation scholarship recipients graduate.
