Northeastern University Scholarships 2025

Northeastern University provides a range of merit-based scholarships to support international students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. While need-based financial aid is limited to U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens, international students can still access several scholarship opportunities to help reduce tuition expenses.

Undergraduate Scholarships

• International Scholars Award: A competitive merit-based scholarship offering up to $28,000 (~INR 24.26 lakhs) per year. This award partially offsets tuition but does not cover full attendance costs.

• RaiseMe Microscholarships: Designed for U.S. high school students, these scholarships allow students to earn up to $20,000 (~INR 17.33 lakhs) annually based on academic performance and extracurricular involvement. Students must complete their RaiseMe portfolio by November 1 of their senior year.

• External Scholarships: International students are encouraged to explore outside scholarship opportunities offered by global organizations. These are independent of Northeastern University.

• On-Campus Employment: International students holding F-1 or J-1 visas may work part-time on campus during their studies to supplement their finances.

Graduate Scholarships

• Merit-Based Awards: Offered to students enrolling in graduate programs—including those in the College of Professional Studies—based on academic excellence and program-specific criteria.

• Departmental Scholarships: Several graduate departments and colleges at Northeastern provide additional scholarships. Applicants should consult their respective academic departments for eligibility, availability, and application procedures.
