Okay folks, real talk time. I live out-of-state and I'm eyeing Northeastern University as my potential college. Anyone know what the tuition typically is for out-of-state students? And what about financial aid options? Any info would be majorly appreciated!
For Northeastern University, tuition is the same for all students, regardless of their state of residence. As per the latest information, the university charges an estimated tuition of $64,990 per academic year. This figure does not include added costs such as housing, meal plans, health insurance, books, or personal expenses, which can bring the total cost of attendance to approximately $89,000 per year.
On the financial aid end, Northeastern does offer several options. Need-based aid is available and determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the CSS profile. The university also has a strong commitment to merit-based scholarships, which you can check out here: https://studentfinance.northeastern.edu/applying-for-aid/undergraduate/types-of-aid/scholarships/. The Northeastern Promise ensures that your scholarship funding will not decrease for all four years of your undergraduate program.
If merit-based scholarships or need-based financial aid don't cover your full expenses, there are also numerous outside scholarship opportunities, work-study programs, or the option to take out student loans.
Remember, the best way to figure out the likely cost for you or your family is to use the net price calculator available on the Northeastern's financial aid website: https://npc.collegeboard.org/app/northeastern. This should give you a good idea of what you could expect to pay after taking into account financial aid and scholarships.
