Application-required Scholarships
This list includes donor-gifted scholarships, scholarships awarded by competition and other awards that students must apply for or compete for, and are not the types that are automatically awarded. While you may not qualify to apply for all of the scholarships listed below as an incoming student, these are options that you might qualify for at some point during your NMU career based on your major, academic success and/or hometown location. Please do not consider the list exhaustive as some may not show up on in this list simply because of the limited number of questions we asked you. The application period for most of the donor-gifted scholarships begins in mid-December and runs into February. NMU's scholarship competition for high school seniors is usually held in November.
