National Merit Scholarship

<p>It’s $30,000, but they are also saying it can be combined with other merit scholarships. Someone on the Northeastern forum said that they talked to someone in admissions who said combinations could add up to full tuition.
Since this is the first year with this, though, it is hard to say what will actually happen with this. I am really pleased with my experience at Northeastern, though, and a big reason I chose it was because the full tuition scholarship made it financially viable. So I am kind of sad that they are ditching this scholarship.
However, they do now have the University Scholars Program, which is competitive and offers full tuition. NM students who are also strong in general would be good candidates for this, as well.</p>
