Students may be eligible for a variety of aid programs independent of Northeastern and the federal/state aid processes. There are many resources available to you. A number of local organizations make money available each year. Many statewide and national organizations and corporations also have funds available for students who meet their criteria.
Note: You must report all private sources of student financial aid to the Northeastern University Office of Student Financial Services in writing.
Outside awards are considered part of your aid package, and in most cases will be applied first to unmet financial need, then to replace loans and/or work-study, and if necessary, to reduce institutional grants and/or scholarships.
If you have a scholarship payment, please forward it to the address below. If the external organization requires a billing statement or other verification from the University, please send a copy of the organization's request to the address below:
Northeastern University
ATTN: General Scholarship, Finance Office, 249 RI
360 Huntington Ave
Boston, MA 02115-5000

Finding Outside Resources |
|
| |
|
Your local library
A trip to your local library will find many scholarship books available that contain the addresses of scholarship programs. It requires some work on your part (applications, essays, etc.), but a few hours of your time could yield valuable information and lead to additional funding for your education. Locally, The Higher Education Information Center, located in the basement of the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, has numerous resources available to help you find outside aid, including a computerized database of scholarships.
The Internet
The Internet contains many websites that are full of useful scholarship information:
FinAid! The SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid
The College Board (Fund Finder)
U.S. Department of Education
Peterson’s Education Center
International Education Financial Aid
College Scholarship Search
CollegeNET
Higher Education Information Center
Next Student Scholarship Search Engine

Remember that all scholarship information is available to you free of charge! Be extremely wary of any organization or company that asks you for a “finder’s fee” or “guarantees” that they can find you aid. Any reputable scholarship organization will not charge you a penny for this information.
