Question 2

How’s financial aid for international students at Northeastern University?

Accepted Answer

You should try to learn about the financial aid for undergraduate as well as graduate students as both of these have different types of grants, scholarships and requirements. Since international students are unable to qualify for US federal loans, they have to pay up more but they can ease off their burden by doing part time work by making some money. 

Students placed in the top 10%-15% of Northeastern University&rsquo;s pool are given preference for competitive merit awards which is between $10000 and $25000. As an international, you wont have many funding opportunities. You can get financial relief through mostly these:


	As a University Scholar
	Need-based scholarships based on expected family contribution
	External Scholarships
	Merit and Talent based scholarships


If you enter as a university scholar, then you can get your entire tuition waived and you only have to incur costs on room, board and other personal expenses. For this, you should have an outstanding academic record in order to be selected. Ofcourse, this will be another challenge to be their top candidate in order to enter the college as a university scholar.

If your expected family contribution(EPF) is less than the actual tuition fees, then you may be awarded a scholarship or a grant which will help him cover up the remaining tuition. However, the EPF amount is low and there is no guarantee that the rest of your fees will be covered. You can get $5k- $15k in grant award for tuition.

As an International student, you may find it difficult to avail scholarships unless you have an excellent SAT/ACT score with an impressive extracurricular profile. You should work hard on making a good profile to stand a chance to win these scholarships. Students with good extracurricular activities get recommendations and get their fees waived off or whatever scholarships they have won.

You should contact the college regarding this in order to have better insights and options.

Question 4

Which university is better, university of Colorado, Boulder or Northeastern University?

Accepted Answer

Everyone has different criteria and experiences and if you ask me, Northeastern was not that great an experience because it was a private school and for me money was an important factor. If you consider their rankings, it is obviously better ranked than University of Colorado which ranks at 103rd place while NEU ranks at 49th place in the national universities.

Northeastern University

Northeastern University offers rigorous academic learning and continuous opportunities for the students. It received 62,000 applications to fill out mere 2800 seats during 2018 and 2019 which means you&rsquo;ll find a lot of competition here. It also has a great reputation as an innovative experiential university and it also has a co-op program. You&rsquo;ll gain a lot of theoretical knowledge as well as practical experience here. It has abundant resources you can utilize.

University of Colorado 

You can definitely consider this because of easier admissions- it has an acceptance rate of 78% and an early acceptance rate of 94.7%. You&rsquo;ll also have 43.8% of its classes with less than 20 students.

It also offers need based financial aid to 33% of its undergraduate students and the scholarship or grant award ranges from 3000-15,000 USD.

You should decide after evaluating different options and choose the college that is going to help you deliver the result you want to achieve.
