Apply for Scholarships

Some scholarships are determined by the FAFSA form, but others are based on different criteria. Scholarships are available through a wide variety of organizations, some in your hometown. Your guidance office should be able to help you with a scholarship search. Other great sources of available scholarships include scholarship guides at your local library and websites such as http://www.fastweb.com. Northern Michigan has a wide variety of scholarships that incoming freshmen can qualify for and receive. For a complete list, see our scholarship information at the NMU Foundation scholarship page.
