Financial Planning
As you prepare for study abroad, you and your parents may have questions about the cost. You'll find the cost of each program and what is included at the bottom of each program fact sheet. Please use the resources to the left for more information. You should speak with your financial aid advisor if you have any questions about your financial aid package. You can find more information in the Study Abroad Manual, under "Packing and Travelling".
Merit Scholars
To simplify financial aid policies for study abroad, the University would like to make clear just which aspects of study abroad your Merit Scholarships will cover. Northeastern charges tuition and a study abroad fee. The study abroad fee includes housing, with the exception of a few programs where housing is not included. Those programs have a lower study abroad fee. All students receiving a merit scholarship consisting of Northeastern University funding may use the tuition portion of their scholarship to cover the tuition cost of the study abroad program. However, the student must pay the remainder of the program fee that includes housing.
