I do not know about the program, but I googled it and actually found a lot of information (http://www.northeastern.edu/camd/academics/undergraduate/creative-leaders/)

To me, it does not appear to be in lieu of the honors program. It looks like a seperate CAMD program. They mention “honors” that you can earn through that program, but I believe that is just referring to distinctions that they put on your diploma after graduation.

Regarding merit aid and the honors program, unfortunately your situation is fairly common. Honors admission is a step above merit aid, and there are many students on half (or more) tuition scholarships who have not been accepted into the honors program. Admissions can always be weird (not just a northeastern thing, that’s everywhere), and some of the smartest people I know at this school are non-honors.
