Every Lumberjack deserves access to an affordable, quality education without financial worries standing in their way.
At NAU, Lumberjacks dream boldly—but financial hardship can threaten their path forward. Your support of Scholarship & Emergency Funding ensures your generosity impacts multiple critical initiatives, including Access to Excellence (A2E), Louie's Cupboard, the Lumberjack Emergency Assistance Fund (LEAF), Academic Momentum, and many others. These programs work together to prevent financial difficulties from derailing students’ education, keeping them enrolled, empowered, and resilient.
NAU has positioned itself among the nation’s leaders in making quality education accessible to everyone. As of fall 2023, NAU guarantees tuition coverage for undergraduate Arizona residents with household incomes up to $65,000, applicable at NAU’s Flagstaff and Statewide campuses (online students are not eligible). Additionally, members of Arizona’s 22 federally recognized tribes receive the full benefit of A2E, regardless of income or state residency.
Today, 97% of NAU students receive some form of scholarship or financial aid, and Lumberjacks graduate with the lowest average debt among public universities—thanks to the generosity of donors like you.
