The housing scholarship maybe limited in number, available on a first-come-first-serve basis and is subject to continued availability of housing. Minimum eligibility does not guarantee a scholarship. The university reserves the right to deny an application for any reason.

Terms:

All terms applicable to the relevant Presidential Scholarship (Bachelor’s or Master’s) apply. If a student with a Presidential Scholarship fails to adhere to its terms, the student’s Housing Scholarship will be rescinded.
Once granted, the Housing Scholarship is only available for a period of three consecutive trimesters, beginning in the trimester during which a student commences the student’s course of study. In the event the student does not enroll in classes in any of the subsequent consecutive trimesters or takes a trimester break, the university shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the Housing Scholarship such that the student receives the scholarship for three full non-consecutive trimesters. The university’s right may be exercised in the university’s sole discretion.
Continued distribution of the Housing Scholarship is contingent on sufficient student housing availability.
A student granted a Housing Scholarship will be expected to share living facilities with other students and shall have no discretion as to who is housed with them. A student is not guaranteed his or her own room and, depending on the demand for housing, may be required to share a room with another student. The university reserves the right to assign roommates.
At the university’s sole discretion, a student who has been granted a Housing Scholarship may be moved and relocated to a different residence at any time, which may be of a different size, location, and arrangement from the student’s prior residence.
The scholarship is valid for housing payments only. The scholarship has no cash value. Any unused portion of housing payments will be forfeited.
While living in university housing, students must abide by all NPU Housing Regulations, Rules and Policies. Failure in this regard may result in a loss of the Housing Scholarship and a forfeiture of housing eligibility.
The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) generally treats scholarships in excess of the cost of tuition, including scholarships for housing, as taxable income. Students receiving the Housing Scholarship are advised to discuss any potential tax implications with their tax professional. NPU will comply with all IRS rules and regulations, including with respect to tax withholding and end-of-year tax reporting.
