PGPAA can be used to pay for tuition and/or cost of attendance including fees, room and board, allowances for books and supplies, and transportation. It may also provide scholarships for the Dialogue of Civilizations Program, Study Abroad programs, and support of international and domestic co-ops.
Outside Scholarships
There are many organizations that provide scholarships for veterans, servicemembers, and their families. All private scholarships must be reported to Northeastern University Office of Student Financial Services in writing. Outside awards are considered part of your aid package. In most cases, they will be applied first to unmet financial need, then to replace loans and/or work-study, and finally to reduce institutional grants and/or scholarships if necessary.
