I'm currently in my junior year and I've heard a lot about the Lumberjack Scholarship at Northern Arizona University (NAU). I'm seriously considering this as an option for helping to fund my college education. Does anyone here know what the requirements for this scholarship are, and if it's realistically achievable for an average student?
The Lumberjack Scholars Award, a scholarship offered by Northern Arizona University, is considered one of the most prestigious awards at the institution. It's a full-tuition scholarship that covers about $11,000 per year and is renewable for a total of eight semesters.
To qualify for the Lumberjack Scholars Award, you need to meet these requisites:
- Be a resident of Arizona.
- Be admitted to NAU as a first time, full-time freshman for the fall term immediately after high school graduation.
- Have an unweighted GPA of 3.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
- Meet the assured admission criteria.
The stringent eligibility requirements associated with this scholarship mean that it may not be accessible for average students. However, NAU offers several other scholarship opportunities for its students. It's always worth checking out the financial aid section on the university's website or contacting the financial aid office for more information.
Remember, there are also an array of external scholarships available that aren't tied to a specific university. Start your search early and apply to as many as possible to increase your chances of receiving funding. Completing your FAFSA early will also open up opportunities for federal and state grants. Good luck!
