<p>i'm a URM and my parents make ~90,000 per year combined. So obviously they don't want to pay for Northeastern, especially because it's all the way on the other side of the country. This is my dream school but the only way i could go is if I got a large discount or a full ride (I heard a lot of people got free rides last year?). How hard would it be to get a full ride or large discount? I'm an African black female hoping to major in Computer Science.(This is only if I even get in .....haha)</p>
<p>When my son entered NEU as a CS major in 2009, I vividly remember the associate dean stating to the group during an info session that the CS department “would do just about anything to enroll females” in their program. Not sure if that still holds true or what it means in terms of scholarship $$, though.</p>
<p>Northeastern offers full tuition scholarships to National Merit and National Achievement scholars.</p>
