Financial Aid

Many students, both full- and part-time, will qualify for some form of financial aid or scholarships. We encourage all students who apply for admission to seek out these opportunities. We hope to assist you in reaching your goals to become a student at Northeastern University.

Getting Started

To be considered for financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 
For new applicants: Please download the First Year Applicant Checklist. 

You are encouraged to apply for financial assistance at the beginning of your academic year regardless of your current plans to cover the costs of your program. Having a finalized financial aid package can make accessing the aid much easier should your plans change later in the year. Please note that once you are awarded aid, you have the option to decline or cancel a portion of your award.

Northeastern offers a full complement of financial assistance to eligible students including: scholarships, grants, and loans from federal and/or state sources. For more information about the types of aid available, please visit Student Financial Services.

Scholarships

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and faculty, we are fortunate to be able to offer a variety of scholarship opportunities. To learn more about and apply for our scholarships, please visit our Scholarships Page.

Total tuition due is dependent upon the total number of credit hours you are enrolled and when you enrolled.
