About this scholarship

Northwestern University undergraduates who apply for financial aid are automatically considered for this need-based scholarship, awarded to roughly 45% of students each year.

Award amounts vary and are sized to meet remaining demonstrated need after other aid is applied. University aid is limited to four years for entering freshmen and three years for entering transfers.

No separate application is required beyond the standard financial aid process. Eligible students may also be considered for endowed scholarships if they meet donors' additional selection criteria.
