Scholarship Summary:
Need-based financial aid is available to international students seeking undergraduate degrees at Northwestern. NU guarantees to meet 100% of all admitted first-year students’ demonstrated financial need for all four years. NU is need-aware for international students, meaning that a request for financial aid consideration and the amount of financial aid you require may factor into your admission decision. Additionally, as part of the need-aware aid policy, you must apply for, and receive financial aid, for your first year if you plan to apply for assistance in later years.
Scholarship Applicant Criteria:
There are no set criteria for receiving the NU International Financial Aid but past recipients were in the top 20% of the applicant pool and had demonstrated significant financial need.
Value of Scholarship:
The Northwestern University International Financial Aid covers 100% of a student’s demonstrated financial need and could reach up to the full cost of attendance (tuition, room and board, fees, health insurance, books and supplies, personal expenses and travel allowance)
