Scholarship Funds

Endow a Legacy

Å·ÃÀÊÓÆµ provides financial aid to 99 percent of incoming undergraduate students. This support plays a major role in a student’s decision to attend NU.

Scholarship funds can be endowed with a minimum gift of $50,000. These funds are invested and will be awarded in perpetuity. Our current spending policy is approved annually by the Board of Trustees, and is calculated as five percent of a three-year moving average of the market value of endowment assets.
