Exceptional value (and success) Think your family can’t afford a Northwestern education? Think again. The most important number is the amount of your financial aid, which is what makes Northwestern affordable for families like yours. To find out what NWC scholarships your student automatically qualifies for, visit nwciowa.edu/scholarships. A large measure of Northwestern’s value is the success our students experience after college. 88% graduate in 4 years or less (compared to state university grads, nearly half of whom take 5 or 6 years to graduate). And nearly 100% of them get jobs or enroll in graduate school within 6 months of graduation. Equally important is the way our graduates are
committed to participating in God’s work in the world—in their careers and also in their families, churches and communities.
“I’ve seen my son grow in his skills, confidence and readiness for life after college … he’ll leave prepared to realize his potential and influence his corner of the world for God.” Tom Mould, Bloomington, MN 100% of NW students receive financial aid, and the average amount is nearly $26,000.

Christ-centered community Outstanding academics Northwestern’s more than 80 academic programs all are offered from a Christian worldview. It’s our integration of faith with learning that makes us different from so many other colleges and universities where a Christian perspective is either on the margins or missing altogether. It’s why our graduates—with their character, values and commitment to something greater than themselves—are in such high demand by employers and graduate schools. Unlike many university courses, all Northwestern classes are taught by professors (who are Christians), not teaching assistants. Students

have access to our top faculty not just during class, but also for one-on-one mentoring and in collaborative research projects. Those opportunities enable students to land excellent internships as well as present and publish as undergrads—impressive experience to list on a résumé.

You want your daughter or son to thrive in college. To have fun. To make friends. We want that too. Northwestern is known as a place where students feel like they belong; in fact, 93% of freshmen say they feel a sense of belonging early in their first semester. That feeling is fostered by residence life professionals and programming that are the envy of our peers. It’s nurtured by juniors and seniors, who stay in the residence halls to lead and mentor (and make us different from other colleges where freshmen-only dorms are the norm). It flows from our commitment to making Christ the center of everything, including our incredible, incomparable community.
