Financial Aid/Scholarships
Although as an international student you do not qualify for state (Oklahoma) or federal (U.S. Government) financial assistance programs, international students are eligible for the NWOSU GO OK! tuition waiver program to help cover the cost of non-resident tuition.
* NON-RESIDENT TUITION WAIVER POLICY - NWOSU GO OK!
Non-Oklahoma residents may be eligible for the NWOSU GO OK! Tuition waiver program. Each semester the Registrar's office will determine if out-of-state residents meet the requirements for this waiver.
Criteria to meet the requirements for this waiver are as follows:
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
- All newly admitted students (first-time freshmen and first-time transfers) receive the GO OK! Tuition waiver.
CONTINUING UNDERGRAD AND READMISSION STUDENTS
- Students beginning their fall semester after initial admittance to Northwestern
- Have a retention/graduation GPA of 2.00.
If you fall below the required cumulative GPA after your first academic year, you will not receive the waiver until you meet the GPA requirement.
International students also are eligible for continuing student and participation scholarships to help defray costs. Also, if you have siblings attending Northwestern and living in university housing, be sure to ask us about the Sibling/Family Housing Waiver.
