    Scholarships

    • Important Update from NEU's College of Engineering regarding to Scholarship:  As part of our strategic initiative, we are excited to announce a 25% tuition scholarship to all students admitted to COE's MS programs in the regional campuses for Fall 2025 or Spring 2026 (FY26 cycle). Students admitted to the Boston campus are not eligible for this 25% scholarship. This scholarship is stackable with other scholarships but the combined scholarship should not exceed 50% of the tuition.
    • Students who register within the first week of registration opening could qualify for a generous $1,000 scholarship.
      We kindly request that you reach out to admitted students to ensure they are aware of this opportunity. This initiative applies to all colleges and programs, including Master's, Graduate Certificate, Bachelor's Completion, Undergrad Certificate, and Professional Doctorate programs. This initiative is applicable from June 6th to June 30th, 2024. Additionally, students who enrolled after May 20th and have not yet registered are also eligible to participate.+

    Winter/Spring (January) 2025 Scholarship Update

    • All scholarships are applicable to Masters and Grad Certs only
    • The 5% Global Learner Award is added to student records at time of application submission
    • The 2% + Free Grad Learning Enrichment Badge will be applied after add/drop date
    • The 15-20% January 2025 Tuition Scholarships (Seattle, Silicon Valley, Oakland only) are added in Slate after the student has been admitted but before their award letter has been released
    • These scholarships are set up to max out at a total combined scholarship value of 50% - so if someone comes through the system with combined value at 40% already, they will only get 10% of the campus scholarship to max them at 50%.
    • These scholarship offerings are NOT deferrable to another term.
