Hahn Scholarship
The Virginia E. Hahn Memorial Scholarship was endowed by the generosity of a lifelong history teacher to support students who share her vision and passion for teaching history.
First-year students who plan to study history with the intent to teach history at a high-school or university level are invited to apply for the Hahn Scholarship. This award, valued at $5,000 or more per year, is available in addition to other scholarships or grants awarded by North Park

Lighthouse Cohort Program and Scholarship
North Park University created the Lighthouse Cohort Program to offer academic and financial support for urban, first-generation college students who have demonstrated academic success. Many students in Lighthouse Cohorts have participated in college readiness programs during high school, though that is not a requirement.

Each year, 10 first-year students are invited to join a new cohort. Beginning with your early arrival on campus for the fall semester, Lighthouse Scholars take part in academic, social, service, and career-planning events alongside peer mentors, faculty, and staff. These activities are designed with one thing in mind: student success. By living on campus, studying, serving, and learning together, you'll be part of a close-knit community and support one another through the first transitional year between high school and college-and then on until graduation.

The Lighthouse Cohort Program is a four-year commitment: after your first year at North Park, you'll continue to meet regularly and participate in workshops, seminars, and other events to help you make use of the many resources the University offers to help you succeed. When you're a junior and senior, you'll have the opportunity to return the support you received and serve as a peer mentor for other new Lighthouse students. Learn more about Lighthouse requirements and expectations.
Along with academic and social support, Lighthouse Scholars are awarded partial tuition scholarships, renewable throughout your undergraduate studies at North Park if program qualifications are met. Scholarship amounts vary and are awarded based on need, academic record, an interview day, and other application materials.

Second Bachelor's Degree Scholarships
Students who come to North Park to complete a second bachelor's degree, including our post-bachelor's medical studies program, may qualify for the following scholarships. Second-degree students may also qualify for federal student loans, if still eligible.
