Financial Aid

Scholarships

Naropa University recognizes that education at a private institution is an expensive undertaking. Limited financial resources need not exclude one from what Naropa has to offer. Naropa University offers a variety of scholarships to qualified undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree students of merit. Naropa encourages students to apply for any and all scholarships for which they may be eligible.

Assessment for most Naropa Scholarships is based on the admissions application or departmental nomination and the Free Applications for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the International Student Aid Application. All Naropa scholarships are available to international students, except where indicated otherwise. Some scholarships require separate applications. Explore scholarship opportunities below that may be available to you.

Loans

Federal educational loans are available to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens (e.g. permanent residents). While not as attractive as grants and scholarships, they are, nevertheless, an important form of financial aid and help students defray the cost of attendance.

Private loans may also be available, though students should consult a financial aid counselor before considering these.
