2024 NNU Scholarships

NNU net price is at $19,432.00 per year and will likely continue climbing like all colleges around the U.S. There are various ways to combat the steep rises in college tuition, and scholarships can be a key ingredient in reducing the overall cost of Northwest Nazarene University. NNU awards an average of $26,000.00 to each student, which can help alleviate some of the financial burden.
