<p>So I got the Dean's scholarship, valued at 22,000 a year for four years. I will also qualify for the national merit 30,000 a year. Do those Iny add up to tuition and then the Dean scholarship gets cut, or should that cover almost everything, tuition, room, and board?</p>
<p>The NM scholarship will replace the deans one and you will get only $30,000 a year. You should confirm this with the school since this is the first year that NM is not full tuition.</p>
<p>“If you receive additional scholarship from the University that exceed the cost of tuition when combined with your Dean’s scholarship, the Dean’s scholarship will be reduced so all grants and scholarships equal the cost of tuition.” </p>
<p>I found the answer! Not as pleased as I could be, but still definitely stoked!</p>
<p>Scratch that.</p>
<p>Based upon this on their website - I think you will only get the $30,000 (not that plus the dean’s scholarship) - you should definitely call the school and find out:</p>
<p>Northeastern National Scholarships</p>
<p>Students who are admitted to Northeastern and are recognized as National Merit Finalists<em>, National Achievement Finalists</em><em>, or National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholars</em>** will receive a $30,000 merit based award and may also be eligible for financial aid.</p>
<p>I’m curious about this too. I don’t see the new wording on their website I just pulled this from their scholarship page. Will definitely be calling tomorrow to confirm one way or the other.</p>
<p>Students who are admitted to Northeastern and are recognized as national scholars (National Merit Finalist<em>, National Achievement Finalist</em>, or National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar**) will receive a $30,000 merit based award and may also be eligible for additional Northeastern merit scholarships.</p>
<p>Duke, where did you get that quote? I assumed I would just get 30 for national merit, but if I could combine with my Deans up to full tuition I would be elated.</p>
<p>It’s definitely $30k per year max. I just called Student Financial Services and they said that the terms have changed, so only financial aid can be combined with it.</p>
<p>Hula…is the 30k guaranteed for Finalist as far as you know or based on what they told you? Also, is the Honors program still guaranteed for finalist?
HSG</p>
<p>Yes, I believe it is automatic and includes Honors. The impression I got is that the information about scholarships on the undergrad admissions website is correct, but that listed on the SFS website is going to be updated.</p>
<p>If student financial services says so, I won’t doubt it, but my quote (minus the one misspelling because my phone lacks a copy and paste functionality) comes directly from the second page- the terms and such- of the letter acknowledging I ha received the deans scholarship.</p>
<p>I have the same letter and actually read that quote verbatim to the guy I talked to. He told me that it doesn’t apply to NMF and that they’re trying to fix all of the erroneous information. Anyways, it’s pretty disappointing; I was really hoping we could combine them!</p>
<p>I called the office and was told that as soon as a student gets his/her finalist notification to fax it to NU. If you do that and name NU as your first choice by their posted deadline, you are guaranteed 30k per year and guaranteed honors program.
Scholars is totally different. If you are selected for Scholars you are told at admissions. For honors, you can be told at admissions time or added once they have proof of your Finalist status.
No other merit aid, just financial aid, can go with the Merit 30k award.
He could NOT answer what you have to do to be sure you keep the 30k per year!</p>
