Scholarships, Grants, Financial Aid for Military-Affiliated Students

Save Time and Money

At Norwich, we do everything we can to minimize your out-of-pocket cost for tuition and help you succeed and provide scholarship opportunities* for active-duty military, veterans and Norwich alumni based on merit, talent or financial need. Additionally, starting with our June 2023 program start date, all active-duty military, veteran, and first responder students will enjoy special discounted pricing on all online master's programs. You can find additional details here.

*Scholarships are not additive or cannot be combined with any other NU-based tuition reduction program or offering. If two or more NU-based reductions are awarded to a student, only the highest award amount will be applied to the student’s tuition payments. Please contact your admissions advisor with questions.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in the financial aid process. Even if you do not anticipate using financial aid, keep in mind that several grants and scholarships require the results of the FAFSA to determine eligibility.

Students using VA education benefits (Chapter 30, 31, 33, 35 or 1606) can also receive financial aid, if approved.

For online bachelor’s degree students, both subsidized and unsubsidized loans are available. Graduate degree students can receive unsubsidized loans.

Norwich University's FAFSA code is 003692.
