For Veterans and Family Members
Northwest University is proud to serve military service members, veterans, and their dependents. Deployments and irregular schedules can make it challenging to complete a degree program. That's why we offer flexible online degree programs in addition to traditional on-campus classes.
Tuition Assistance
Tuition Assistance is a form of financial aid available to active-duty service members in addition to regular financial aid awarded through FAFSA. If you are part of a U.S. government agency, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines etc., please contact your branch education counselor for the steps and application process to use tuition assistance. Once you obtain and complete your Voucher/Tuition Assistance Form provided by your branch education counselor, please forward it to Northwest University’s Student Financial Services department.
You can email your vouchers/authorizations to studentfinancialservices@northwestu.edu. Once the form is received, the funds will be requested utilizing the educational web portal of the specific branch of service.
