Two annual, renewable scholarships covering 50% of full-time tuition, awarded to incoming international freshman undergraduates (with less than 20 semester/30 quarter hours of prior university coursework) who attended or graduated from a secondary school outside the United States. Applicants submit a 500-1000 word essay or a 2-5 minute video about intercultural leadership and bridging cultural divides. Because eligibility explicitly requires international applicant status and a non-US secondary education, this scholarship is designed for and limited to international undergraduates.
A 25% tuition reduction for international students who hold a conferred associate degree earned within the past year and transfer into an NLU undergraduate bachelor's program. The award is offered specifically to international transfer students, making clear it is open to non-domestic undergraduate applicants who meet the associate-degree transfer criteria.
A tuition discount for international undergraduate students entering NLU's Kendall College programs: 25% off tuition (up to roughly $24,123) for Culinary Arts or Baking & Pastry programs, or 10% off tuition (up to about $7,599) for Hospitality Management. The discount is applied automatically upon program acceptance and is specifically targeted at international students enrolling in these undergraduate programs, confirming eligibility for non-domestic applicants.
An annual, renewable scholarship equal to 10% of the full-time tuition rate (valued up to about $7,599 per year), applied automatically upon acceptance to any bachelor's degree program at NLU. The award is stated as being available to international students only, and requires maintaining a 2.0 GPA and full-time enrollment. It can be used toward tuition costs and is a clear example of an award created specifically for international undergraduates.
A reduced international tuition rate automatically applied to first-time freshman international students on F1 visas entering National Louis University's Undergraduate College (or B.A. Hospitality Management) on-campus in Chicago or Wheeling. It lowers the per-credit-hour rate substantially versus the standard rate, is renewable each term, and requires a minimum 2.0 GPA and full-time (14+ credit) continuous enrollment. It is explicitly designed for and limited to international students on F1 status, confirming eligibility for non-domestic undergraduates.
