Elevate Lumberjacks with Access to Education

Every Lumberjack deserves access to an affordable, quality education without financial worries standing in their way.

At NAU, we're committed to making college accessible and supporting Lumberjacks from enrollment through earning their degree. 

Your generosity today sets students on a path of success through critical initiatives like:

These programs not only provide financial assistance but also foster an environment where students are supported to continue their momentum toward earning their degree.

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, ensuring equitable access to education.

Today, 99% 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.
