Scholarships
Nexford University does not participate in Federal Financial Aid programs but is committed to helping learners explore the best options for financing their education. This includes providing access to advising services, scholarship opportunities, and tuition discount programs.
Nexford Financial Need Scholarship
The Nexford Financial Need Scholarship was established to support learners who are academically prepared for college but lack the financial means to pursue a degree. Eligibility is based on specific criteria, including employment status, income range, and the number of financially dependent family members.
To assess these factors, applicants are required to complete a brief financial questionnaire as part of the application process. The information provided is used to evaluate their financial need and determine the level of support they may receive. Scholarship awards are granted as tuition reductions that vary in amount based on each applicant’s demonstrated financial need.
Interested applicants should speak with a Nexford Application Specialist or contact [email protected] for more information.
Master of Science in Entrepreneurship Scholarship
The Master of Science in Entrepreneurship Scholarship is a merit-based award available exclusively to applicants of the Master of Science in Entrepreneurship program. It is designed to support individuals who demonstrate strong entrepreneurial potential and a clear motivation to succeed in a graduate-level, skills-focused program.
As part of the scholarship application, candidates are required to submit written responses addressing their motivation for pursuing entrepreneurship, relevant experience, and readiness for the program. Submissions are assessed using a standardized scoring rubric, with a maximum score of 12 points. Scores are determined based on the strength, relevance, and clarity of each response to ensure fairness and consistency across applications.
