Northeastern meets full demonstrated need for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Northeastern does not offer need-based financial aid to international students. International students will be automatically considered for merit scholarships based on their academic performance in high school. These scholarships are typically awarded to students in the top 20% of our admitted student applicant pool. These awards are competitive and not every student should expect to receive a scholarship. Merit awards range in value from $10,000 to $25,000 per academic year.
