As an international student, I'm interested in knowing what Northeastern Illinois University offers in terms of scholarships. How can I find out more about their available scholarships and the application process?
Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU) does indeed offer aid to students, including international ones! They have a wide variety of scholarships open to undergraduates and graduates.
For international students, there are several options. One notable one is the Goodwin Scholarship for Continuing Students. It is awarded to sophomores, juniors, and seniors on the basis of academic merit. While need-based aid isn't typically available to international students, many merit-based scholarships are available.
NEIU uses an online scholarship application system, known as AcademicWorks. This tool automatically matches you to scholarships once you're logged in and have filled out a general application. It's a centralized hub for all NEIU scholarships, which streamlines the process and makes it easier for you.
Remember, each scholarship has its own eligibility requirements, so it’s crucial to pay close attention to the details of each one. When you're looking at scholarships on AcademicWorks, each listing will include eligibility criteria and information about how to apply.
You should definitely take the time to seek out as many scholarship opportunities as possible. Every little bit helps in offsetting your tuition costs. Good luck with your scholarship search and application process!
