NorthWesternCampus set me up for success from day one. The support, resources, and sense of teamwork made me feel like no one gets left behind.
It started as a 'Sure, why not?' — now I'm all in.
My success coach was my biggest resource – always checking in and cheering me on. We have a personal connection – it never felt like I was just a number.

The Surtain Scholars Program, created with NFL star Pat Surtain and Campus, supports ambitious, driven students ready to take an innovative approach to their education. It offers full tuition coverage, a laptop, and Wi-Fi – giving learners everything they need to thrive.
This opportunity is open to high school graduates or equivalent and anyone eligible to enroll in a Campus associate degree. You don't need to already be a Campus student – just meet the standard admission requirements for their programs.
Applicants must complete the FAFSA to be considered. The scholarship covers the full cost of tuition after Pell Grant eligibility is applied, so recipients pay no out-of-pocket tuition. All scholars also receive a laptop and access to Wi-Fi.
The scholarship is applicable to either Campus' fully online Associate of Arts in Business Administration (AABA) – including an optional Applied AI concentration – or our Associate of Science in Information Technology (ASIT) degree.
First, complete the Surtain Scholars scholarship application linked above. After that, submit your application to Campus and complete the FAFSA. Once Campus has both your full application and FAFSA, your scholarship application will be reviewed.
If you're chosen, a member of the Campus admissions team will reach out to let you know you've been selected and outline the next steps.
Students are only eligible to apply to one of our merit scholarship programs. Students receiving the Surtain Scholars award are not able to combine this with any other Campus scholarship or grant awards.
