Norwich Alumni Scholarships
The College of Graduate and Continuing Studies was created in part to help Norwich alumni and their families fulfill their lifetime learning needs and career goals. Many Norwich alumni have already gone through the programs and received their master's degrees. Our graduate programs provide the same great education you received as an undergraduate.

Norwich University is pleased to offer the Alumni Scholarship, an excellent opportunity available to alumni and their immediate family members, including spouses, parents, and children.
