Northwest International Achievement Scholarship (NIAS) (UG)

This award will represent the value of the difference in price between in-state and out-of-state tuition. It is equivalent to approximately USD $7,078 during your first year based on 28 credit hours (the scholarship total will vary based on credit hours taken). The scholarship is renewable the second year if a student completes 24 unique credit hours (superseded credit hours do not count twice) with a 3.0 GPA. If a student does not maintain continuous enrollment they will lose their waiver.

For NEW freshmen (first-year students) to be eligible for the NIAS, you must have graduated from a non-English speaking school and be at one of the following levels of English proficiency:

65 on Internet-based TOEFL -or-
6.0 on Academic IELTS -or-
50 on Pearson Test of English

International freshmen who are not required to provide proof of English proficiency because they are from an English-speaking country are eligible with a 3.00 high school grade point average or with an SAT score of at least 1060 or ACT score of at least 21.
