As a top-tier private university, Northwestern's scholarship policy is primarily based on financial need, not academic merit. Here’s a detailed breakdown.
The Short Answer
Northwestern University does not offer merit-based scholarships for undergraduate students. Instead, it meets 100% of the demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, including international students, through a generous need-based financial aid program. The scholarship amount can range from a few thousand dollars to over $80,000 per year, potentially covering full tuition, room, and board for students with the highest financial need.
Detailed Explanation: Need-Based Financial Aid
Your "scholarship" at Northwestern will be a need-based grant that you do not have to repay. The amount is determined by one key factor: your family's financial situation.
1. How it Works:
· You apply for admission and submit financial aid documents.
· The university calculates your family's ability to pay (Expected Family Contribution - EFC).
· Northwestern then provides a financial aid package to cover the difference between the Cost of Attendance (CoA) and your EFC. This package is primarily made up of grants (free money) and may include work-study and federal loans.
2. Cost of Attendance (2024-2025 Estimate):
· Tuition & Fees: ~$65,000
· Room & Board: ~$20,000
· Books, Personal Expenses, etc.: ~$5,000
· Total Estimated CoA: Approximately $90,000 per year.
3. Example Scenarios:
· High Financial Need: If your calculated EFC is $10,000, your need-based grant could be around **$80,000** per year.
· Moderate Financial Need: If your EFC is $40,000, your grant could be around **$50,000** per year.
· Lower Financial Need: If your EFC is $70,000, your grant would be smaller, around **$20,000** per year.
