Scholarships at Nova Southeastern University
This institutional scholarship is available to undergraduate students in NSU's Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice who have completed at least two terms at NSU and hold a minimum 3.0 GPA. It requires applicants to demonstrate financial need, but unlike most NSU institutional awards it explicitly states that "preference [is] given to International students," and its financial-need documentation rule only requires a current FAFSA on file for domestic students -- meaning international undergraduates can qualify without a FAFSA by demonstrating need through other means. Interested students apply via the college's scholarship application, submitted to [email protected], with deadlines of July 15 (Fall), November 1 (Winter), and March 31 (Summer).
