This is a visit scholarship applied to your financial package for each year that you attend Niagara University. If you are receiving a full-tuition benefit from any program, you will not be eligible for this scholarship. The combination of a student’s merit with additional scholarships cannot exceed 75% of tuition and fees so some offers may be reduced or canceled. This award goes toward tuition costs and does not cover the direct cost of study abroad or other off-campus programs.
