Federal Financial Aid
National American University (NAU) offers a quality, personalized private education at an affordable cost. NAU has consistently remained one of the least expensive among private universities. Affordability options are available for every family.
NAU recognizes that many students would be unable to pursue their educational goals without financial assistance. NAU provides financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, work study, and low-interest loan programs through federal, state and local sources.
We will be communicating frequently regarding your financial aid in the form of e-mail or through the student portal. Please be sure to check your e-mail and the portal frequently.
Because of the limited amount of funds in certain programs, it is imperative that you complete and return/submit your financial aid applications as soon as possible.
