Unlock Your True Potential

At National University, we believe everyone, regardless of ethnicity, financial situation, or income level, deserves to experience the journey of personal and professional fulfillment fueled by the pursuit of a college degree. Our Key Grant is designed to remove financial barriers to earning a quality college degree for high-need students in underserved populations.

How It Works

The NU Key Grant offers a needs-based tuition reduction that opens the doors to higher education for qualified students who may not be able to afford a college degree any other way. Whether you’re:

  • An enlisted servicemember looking to maximize your education benefit
  • A degree holder hoping to advance your education without Title IV funding

National University’s Key Grant is designed to unlock the barrier to your education, the door to your dreams, the pathway to your future.
