Re-entry Scholarships

Re-entry students may have their original NMU scholarship reinstated if they:

  • were eligible for renewal at the time they left NMU,
  • have not attended another college or university between enrollments at NMU,
  • are within the "consecutive semesters" timeline that began with the original awarding date of said scholarship.  (Semesters away from NMU do count in the consecutive semesters timeline.)
