National Scholars Program (NSP)

In an effort to attract talented students from around the world, Eastern Michigan University offers the National Scholars Program (NSP) Scholarship for qualified international students. You may qualify for the scholarship if you meet the following qualifications:

•    Freshman students with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale receive a renewable award of $16,500 (the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition) for up to four years

•    Transfer students with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 (tabulated from all post-secondary institutions attended) on a 4.0 scale and have at least 30 college credits receive a renewable award of $16,500 (the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition in a prorated formula according to the number of credits transferred to EMU as follows):

• Sophomore (25-55 credits) = 6 semesters of eligibility
• Junior (56-84 credits) = 4 semester of eligibility
• Senior (85+ credits) = 2 semesters of eligibility

*SAP = Satisfactory Academic Progress: requires that students earn passing grades in a minimum of 67% of the credit hours they take. Grades of W, I, N, NC or repeated classes are not earned.

•    Students must be admitted as a non-resident for tuition purposes.

Students are automatically considered for the NSP scholarship when reviewed for admission. This scholarship is available to new (not already enrolled) EMU students. In order to be considered, students should be admitted prior to the Financial Aid priority deadline (July 1st/November 1st). Students who have already received a Bachelor’s degree are not eligible. Students receiving a government/agency scholarship are not eligible. The NSP award is posted to student accounts in September and January (fall and winter semesters).
