So I got into Northeastern University for a combined major of Business and Computer Science with a merit scholarship of 12,000, and I also got into Rutgers University New Brunswick for Business with admission to the honors college and a merit scholarship of 19,000. Is there any way I could use this to get more money from Northeastern?
You can ask, but the answer will likely be NO. Northeastern is a private university, and most likely does not view Rutgers as a peer school. In addition, the criteria for receiving merit from Northeastern is likely higher than it is for Rutgers.
Sure…ask…but don’t expect a yes answer.
No, they do not match or negotiate.
That is a great scholarship offer from Rutgers and makes them very affordable. I would grab it and not look back!
