NU tuition

Northwestern no longer gives loans as part of their financial aid plans. Debt won’t be an issue unless you take out private loans. Any internships you do will have a negligible impact on your financial aid. You won’t be making that much money, if anything at all. Once your sibling is out of college, your EFC will double and you will be expected to pay twice as much. I encountered that same issue. You can look through my previous threads if you need any advice. I was also in the same situation. Sibling in college with a high EFC. Sibling no longer in college and my EFC doubled. My parents thankfully were willing to make the adjustments to their spending so that I can countinue to be here.
