Its accurate if your accurate about your income and assets, merit scholarships are hard to get at NE, so dont bank on those, now financial aid grants is different, remember 10/10 times your package will include the stafford loans if you qualify which are 5500, add in 2k for work study thats 7500. And 24k a semester or a year? 46k of tuition only per year, so 6oud need around 18k of your own money or scholarship, then you take the 5500 of loans and that would cover your tuiton, rokm and board is not included which is another 14k per year.
