and create new opportunities for themselves and those around them.
Many are balancing coursework with work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and financial obligations.
Even a small funding gap can interrupt progress or prevent a student from finishing.
Why Adult Learners Need Support
Unlike traditional students, adult learners frequently carry multiple responsibilities at once.
Scholarships and financial support help reduce barriers that can delay momentum and increase the risk of stopping out.
The Role of the NAU Foundation
The NAU Foundation raises and stewards philanthropic support, primarily through scholarships, to help adult learners
at National American University begin, continue, and complete their education.
Our work is focused on practical outcomes: helping students persist through challenges, stay enrolled,
and complete the credentials that support career mobility and long-term stability.
The Impact of Giving
When donors support the NAU Foundation, they invest in people who are actively improving their lives through education.
That investment extends beyond individual learners by strengthening families, workplaces, and communities.
Together, we can help adult learners finish what they start and create lasting change through education.
