ASU New American University Scholarship

About this scholarship

Arizona State University's New American University Scholarship (NAMU) is a merit-based award for high-achieving undergraduate students, including qualified international F-1 first-year and transfer applicants. ASU does not publish a fixed international award table on the official cost page; it states that awards are made to a limited number of qualified international undergraduates and that the scholarship is worth varying amounts distributed across up to four years. For first-year applicants, ASU automatically considers students for NAMU awards through the admission application, with no additional scholarship application required. The practical deadline is the admission timeline: ASU recommends completing fall 2026 admission by the November 1 priority date to maximize scholarship consideration, with January 15 listed as the regular admission date. International applicants must submit the required application, transcripts, fee, and English proficiency evidence. Recipients are notified by letter and email if awarded. Renewal requires full-time ASU enrollment, continuous attendance, annual credit completion, and a minimum ASU GPA under the scholarship renewal guide. Because ASU says award amounts may vary by campus, program, residency, or tuition status, students should rely on their official award letter for the exact value.
