Work Study
The work study program offers part-time employment to students living on campus. Because a limited number of campus jobs are available to help students pay their school bills, Northland cannot guarantee jobs for all students or that each student will earn the stated amount each month. Each job is considered a ministry and a privilege.
A student's job performance must be satisfactory for him to continue working. A student who participates in the work study program may work no more than twenty hours per week. Students may apply for work study during registration. All work study wages are directly applied to a student's school account first. After a student has paid his account in full, the student may request to receive paychecks from the payroll office for future earnings.
Work Study Application
Demonstrated Need Scholarship
Northland awards these scholarships based upon individual student financial needs.
Academic Scholarship Information and Eligibility Criteria
The Academic Scholarship is available for any student who has completed four years of high school with a cumulative GPA of 3.60 or higher and an ACT score of 23 or higher (SAT 1140 or higher). A transfer student must have a 3.60 average for the semester (at least 15 credits) of college previous to his transfer. After he is enrolled at Northland, the student must maintain a 3.60 GPA, pass Extension requirements, and be enrolled for at least 15 semester hours of undergraduate credit to qualify for the scholarship (not including Pass/Fail classes). Once a student has qualified for the scholarship, he will receive $1,500 off his tuition for the next semester. A new student receives this scholarship the first semester he attends Northland assuming he meets the eligibility requirements. If a student drops below 15 hours in a single semester, he does not qualify for the next semester. He may be reinstated again after any semester in which he has 15 semester hours and a 3.60 grade point average. The Academic Scholarship does not apply to the master's program or to classes taken beyond a bachelor of arts/science degree. The master's classes have no effect on a student's GPA. The free master's class offered to any graduating senior is not counted toward the Academic Scholarship. Only scheduled college courses which meet regularly on a weekly basis are counted in the 15 semester hours required, including Physical Education, Concert Choir, Band, and Music Applied.
Ministry Scholarship Information and Eligibility Criteria
Northland International University's founder, Paul Patz, had a great love for people—especially those serving God in full-time ministry. He understood the financial sacrifices most make in order to be in the ministry. While he believed in individual fiscal responsibility and a strong work ethic, he wanted to make Northland as affordable as possible for everyone—but especially for those whose parents served the Lord in full-time ministry. To this end, our Ministry Scholarship is the most generous scholarship we offer internally to our students. It is a $2,500 scholarship toward the cost of tuition each semester.Students whose head of household is in full-time Christian service or a ministry-related job are eligible. Requirements are as follows:
- Recipients must maintain a 2.25 GPA or above to receive the Ministry Scholarship.
- To receive the scholarship, a student must participate in the work-study program or be a member of an official Northland Fine Arts/Traveling team or an official sports team.
- Recipients must be under age twenty-four at the time of initial application.
- Recipients must live on campus. Those living off campus and meeting the other applicable requirements will receive a $500 scholarship.
- Recipients must apply for the ministry scholarship each year before the scholarship deadline.
James C. Morgenroth Scholarship Fund
The James C. Morgenroth Scholarship is available to all full-time students. Distribution is made through the Alumni Steering Committee and is awarded on the basis of need and availability of funds. The scholarship is sponsored by the Alumni Association in memory of the commitment, faithfulness, and servant's heart of Dr. James C. Morgenroth, Northland's first director of missions. Dr. Morgenroth went home to be with the Lord in 1993.
Ministry Memorial Scholarship Fund
This Memorial Scholarship is awarded once per academic year to a student determined by the Bible faculty and the administration.
Heart Scholarship
The purpose of this scholarship is to help upperclassman students who are struggling financially and unable to complete their Christian education and ministry training in a timely manner. It is the desire of the college to aid these students so that they can move on to fulfill God’s call to the ministry.
Grace Kneibler Hanline Memorial Scholarship
A survey conducted in the fall of 2007 revealed that 43 percent of current Northland students believe that they will serve the Lord on a foreign mission field when their education and training are completed. They will join a faithful roster of Northland alumni who are now serving in fifty different countries of the world. It is with this spirit that the Grace Kneibler Hanline Memorial Scholarship was established in the fall of 2007. This scholarship is for Northland students who desire to serve the Lord as a church planter or as a trainer of church planters on a foreign mission field. In addition, recipients must be a citizen of the United States or Canada, have a minimum GPA of 2.50, give evidence of God’s calling to a mission field, be active in their local church, demonstrate leadership skills, and demonstrate a consecrated walk with the Lord.
