Four Types of Aid
Northeastern offers four basic types of financial aid you can seek to help fund your education. With the help of the Financial Aid Office, you can find many options within each category. Eligibility and conditions differ depending on the type of aid.
- Need-based grants and scholarships. Free money; you do not need to pay it back. Based on your FAFSA results.
- Merit-based grants and scholarships. Free money; you do not need to pay it back. Based on grades, tests and other criteria.
- Student employment. Compensation for work, while enrolled, that you can use to help pay for your education. Sources include the Federal Work-Study Program and local opportunities.
- Loans. Not free money; loans will need to be paid back, with interest. Federal need-based student loans with relatively good terms are available.
Many Sources, Many Recipients
The different types of student financial aid can come from various sources – federal and state government as well as institutional and private sources. You can review comprehensive lists of available scholarships, with eligibility criteria, deadlines, and helpful tips for applying.
