ASSISTANTSHIPS & EMPLOYMENT
Working while you study can be a great way to reduce the amount you need for loans and make new friends along the way. With tools like Handshake, a handy job board for students, you can gain new experiences that supplement your learning with real-world experience. NAU also offers remote student employment opportunities. Federal work-study programs can be an option if you qualify. For graduate students, assistantships may be available that offer stipends and tuition support.
LOANS
When scholarships, grants, and employment can’t cover the full cost of your education, federal and private student loan programs are a common option among students. Our financial aid advisors can help guide you through this process to help you choose the best options. Choosing the right loan can result in significant savings and shorten the timeline for repayment. At NAU, our mission is to help you find the most affordable path toward the degree that’s right for your future.
