Is it worth going to a more expensive college (extra 10k/year), if you can afford it?

I believe If you get NHRP you will get the 30k merit at Northeastern. They only reduce that amount if your FA offer (if u qualify for FA) is higher. They don’t stack. Assuming 0 FA, then you should get the 30k.

Are the cuttoffs out for NHRP? If so, and you exceeded them, then I’m pretty confident you will get that scholarship.
