Non-Resident Scholarships

Who are non-residents?

Non-residents are students who are NOT residents of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, or Texas. If they meet regular admission requirements (not admitted as test-optional, alternatively or on probation) they may be eligible for a scholarship waiving 50% of their non-resident tuition.

If you have a parent or grandparent who have graduated from NSU there is also a Legacy award option. See below for details based on your student type.

If you are a resident of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, or Texas, please visit the Quad-State Scholarship page for more information. 

Incoming Freshmen

Incoming freshmen that live on campus and have a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA and a 20 composite ACT score may be eligible for a scholarship waiving 50% of their non-resident tuition for their first bachelor's degree. Non-resident tuition is $316 per hour, in addition to in-state tuition. This program waives only a percentage of the non-resident portion. Students are still responsible for paying in-state tuition which is $230.65 per credit hour and the remainder of the non-resident portion.

If you are a legacy student whose parent, grandparent, or sibling earned a degree (bachelors or masters degree) from NSU, you will not be required to live on campus** in order to receive the scholarship.

How to Apply? Once students are admitted, the General Scholarship Application will be added to their admission portal to complete and a notification will be sent to the student.

Application Deadlines: August 1 for the Summer or Fall terms and January 1 for the Spring term.

**Keep in mind that incoming freshmen are required to live on campus their freshman year unless they live within a 30 mile Radius and then they can submit an exemption form. Please review the Freshman residency policy and exemption information here: Commuter Exemptions
