Northwestern Financial Aid Experience

How is the financial aid at northwestern? I’ve heard everything from phenomenal to awful (for a middle class family). I’ve also heard they will be amping up their financial aid starting 2016-2017?

Bump

When we were there for the tour in August, they announced that NU had completed a successful fundraiser with a priority improving need-based financial aid.

I am not sure how this will affect aid for middle-class kids.

@londondad I hope it means they’re boosting it for everyone - it’s so expensive!
