Funding Options
Because an education is an investment in your future.
You know it better than anyone: An education can be the key to greater career opportunities and a brighter future. At National American University (NAU), we know how to help make it affordable. We encourage students to consider different finance options and to utilize Federal Financial Aid or personal savings resources prior to pursuing a private loan. Grants generally do not have to be repaid and Federal Student Loans generally offer low interest rates as well as flexible repayment and consolidation options.
Your financial services representative is here to help you understand all available options—and which ones make the most sense for you.
Use our Net Price Calculator to see a personalized picture of your costs. You may be eligible for financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, and low-interest federal student loan programs, as well as veteran financial assistance or through your employer.
There are a variety of different federal grant and loan programs available. Each has different rules—and some financial aid programs are limited —so it’s important to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Want to learn more? Reach out to your NAU Financial Services Representative at 800-209-0182, option 2 or Learn More.
