Huskie Service Scholars

Huskie Service Scholars is a program that offers tuition waivers to students for community service.  This program pairs upper-classmen with first-generation or low income students entering NIU for the first time.  Upon completion of 300 hours of service, students will receive a tuition waiver of $1,132.  In order to receive the tuition waiver, students must meet the following criteria:

• Students must earn a minimum of 12 semester hours each semester of attendance (both fall and spring semesters), excluding summer semester.
• Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or above in all NIU course work.  Students who fall below a 2.00 will have the tuition waiver immediately revoked.
• Students must remain in good academic standing and judicial university standing at all times.  A tuition waiver will be immediately revoked if a student is not in good standing, and will not be reinstated to the Huskie Service Scholars program.
• The tuition waiver is only available for one year and is not renewable.
