Deadlines have passed for our competitive scholarship programs. However, these scholarships are a small part of the more than $4 million our students receive in scholarships and grants. There are three other sources of scholarships and grants at Northland. If you are accepted for admission, it is highly likely that you will receive one or more of these awards that range from $8,000 up to $20,000 per year.

Academic Scholarships:

• Academic scholarships are based on your high school academic record and scores from either the ACT or SAT. Your application for admission doubles as your scholarship application.
• These awards range from $8,000 to $20,000 and are renewable for an additional three years.
• Most accepted students receive one of these awards.
• Scholarship letters are mailed approximately a week after you are accepted for admission.

Fine Arts Scholarships:

• Music, Writing and Art Scholarships. These funds were not exhausted during the first round of competition. Remaining scholarships will be awarded on a rolling basis as qualified students apply.

Need-based Grants:

• Even with generous Fine Arts and Academic Scholarships, many students find they are unable to afford a Northland education.
• Northland has a strong commitment to remain affordable to all students who qualify for admission. We award additional grant assistance to back up this commitment.
• In addition to grants from Northland, we also coordinate state and federal grant programs.
• For students with good academic records and a high level of financial need, the combination of these programs may extend to full tuition.
• All need-based scholarship and grant programs require that families file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• When you have questions about financial aid or filing the FAFSA, we'll be happy to help. Call us at (715) 682-1699.

This year Northland College students receive more than $4 million dollars in scholarship and grant assistance. The Northland College Access Guarantee ensures that good students from families earning less than $150,000 will pay no more than the stated costs to attend the primary public university in their home state.

If you want the personal attention from faculty that will help you succeed in the classroom, an active learning environment that will give you a step up in the job market, and a unique academic program that reflects our commitment to the environment and sustainability, make sure you explore ALL the scholarship and grant opportunities that can make this possible. Never assume you can't afford any college or university without first exploring all the options.

Even more important, if you haven't applied to Northland yet, your application starts the entire process. You should have an admission decision within 10 days of completing your application file and you'll know about scholarships shortly thereafter.
