Students living on campus are awarded an NNU annual scholarship of $4,000 for up to four years depending on the number of years they attended the high school. One year of attendance at the high school equals one year of NNU Mission Partner Scholarship. Students living off campus will be eligible for a $2000 annual scholarship.

Dependency status is defined in the same manner as the FAFSA definition when being considered for this award.
Army Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC): Students attending NNU are eligible to apply for Army ROTC two-, three-, and four-year scholarships. These pay for tuition, fees, and room charges (meal plan not included) for each year that the scholarship is received.

Ministry: Freshmen students who are Nazarene and majoring in ministry are given a ministry scholarship. Subsequent renewal of this requires continued enrollment as a ministry major and is determined by the faculty of the College of Theology and Christian Ministries.
