Scholarships and Fellowships

There's no additional cost to being an honors student. In fact, we provide you with more financial support to reach your academic and professional goals. Discover all the scholarship and fellowship opportunities available to you as an honors student at NSU.

Honors Scholarships

Scholarships awarded through the Honors College are distinct from the Dean's Scholarship, the President's Scholarship, and other NSU merit-based awards. You can receive several institutional scholarships (which may be capped at the total cost of tuition).

  • Amount: $500
  • Automatically awarded in your first year in the Honors College and renewed each year if you maintain good standing in the college. This scholarship is one of few at NSU that can be stacked with other institutional scholarships. 
  • Amount: $500
  • Awarded to up to 10 new students for the current school year. Only students who are new to the Honors College are eligible to apply. We provide application details at the beginning of the fall semester. Awards are conferred at the annual Honors College Fall Reception.
  • Amount: up to $1000
  • Awarded to several students who have utilized the honors experience for academic, personal, professional, and civic growth. Awards are conferred at the annual Honors College Spring Banquet and apply toward undergraduate tuition for the next school year. We provide application details in the winter semester. 
  • Amount: $1000 
  • Awarded to one honors student each school year who demonstrates a commitment to the college’s core pillars: inquiry, innovation and creativity, global awareness and sensitivity, art and culture, and ethics and engagement. The award is conferred at the annual Honors College Spring Banquet and applies toward undergraduate tuition for the next school year. We provide application details in the winter semester. 
  • Amount: $2,500/year (for up to two years)
