<p>I know several people who work side jobs, both on co-op and in classes, so that’s definitely a possibility. (From my 9-15 hour a week part-time job I’ve been able to earn around $2,000 this semester, and from what I’ve seen there are definitely opportunities for whatever commitment you’re able to make.) Northeastern can also be pretty generous with scholarship money, and will sometimes increase your aid if you talk to them about it.
Have you heard anything about your PSAT scores? If you’re in the running for National Merit that’s a great scholarship, but as posted above there are other substantial ones.</p>
