The Dean's Office, in conjunction with the College Committee on Academic Distinction and Awards for Students, chooses recipients for College scholarships and also recommends students for some University scholarships. To be considered for these scholarships, you must be enrolled full-time and currently attending NU at the time of application. You also must complete the College's Undergraduate Scholarship Application Form. Scholarships for students in classics and religious studies are supported by income from the Grace I. Bridge and Emma C. Steckelberg scholarship funds. Scholarships from theses sources also can be awarded to first-year students.
Scholarships are available to cover tuition costs for qualified undergraduate geology majors.
