Arizona Promise Program

Helping Arizona resident students pay for college

For eligible students, NAU will cover the remaining cost of tuition, mandatory fees, as well as college/program and Honors fees not covered by other grant and scholarship funding.

Award amount

The Arizona Promise Program helps eligible first-year Arizona students attend NAU, paying tuition and fees after other aid is applied. It’s one more way we’re expanding access to higher education. The award amount varies by student.

How to apply
