Earn to Learn for NAU students
Helping limited-income Arizonans save for college
Earn to Learn helps students save for and pay for college through a combination of student savings, scholarships, financial training, and college success coaching.
How does it work?
Eligible students and families deposit $500 into a savings account each year. The program then matches those funds 8:1, meaning you receive an additional $4,000 per year toward paying for college! These funds are scholarships that don’t have to be repaid.
