@LI516IT , Are you sure about this? Northeastern’s website make it seem like it’s are one time scholarships - flat 30k.
Northeastern U: http://www.northeastern.edu/admissions/cost-financial-aid/scholarships/
"Students who are admitted to Northeastern and are recognized as National Merit Finalists, National Achievement Finalists, or National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholars** will receive a $30,000 merit based award and may also be eligible for financial aid.
Boston is correct, 20k per year.
For Boston, I’ve heard it’s not automatic, you have to be a top student on TOP of that. I don’t know about Northeastern’s though.
