<p>does anyone know if nu gives any money for these ? i mean i know you have to become a finalist and then after becoming a finalist u have to become a scholarship winner and so on</p>
<p>According to the financial aid site, they offer $500 to $2,000, which is hardly a dent in the yearly tuition, unfortunately.</p>
<p>is it based on need or does everyone who lists NU as their first choice get a scholarship?</p>
<p>NU is cheap....They only offered my son $500 a year.</p>
<p>maybe you make enough money?</p>
<p>Hey, $500 is better than $0. Plus, NU only advertises for giving money to those with financial need. I'm sorry, but I'm backing NU on this one.</p>
<p>NU is Cheap!!!!</p>
<p>Not really. Not when they guarantee to meet all financial need. They're covering for 1000s of kids and are giving out 1000s of dollars to them. They're not cheap (key word here being when there's NEED). If I were you, I'd be grateful that your son got in and stop being resentful of the financial aid package. Getting free money is certainly a plus, but it's never guaranteed. There are also other sources of money besides NU. Ckeck out scholarships in the area (there are tons).</p>
<p>I'm not going to get in an arguing match with you (I'm really not up for it right now, and I have two quizzes tomorrow so...) so I'm jsut going to stop. However, if you'd like to give up that acceptance, I'd gladly take it.</p>
<p>so if your efc is like 45-50,000 and you didn't submit a fafsa, could you still get the $500 from NU?</p>
<p>if your efc is like 45-50000, you don't need ANY financial aid.</p>
