Parent and Family Scholarship

Learning opportunities that last a lifetime

Sometimes a parent or sibling delays their own continued education to support a full-time undergraduate day student. At Northeastern, thanks to the Parent and Family Scholarship, family members can continue working to achieve their advanced educational goals—and receive a 25 percent tuition discount on more than 110 eligible graduate programs.

The Parent and Family Scholarship demonstrates our commitment to lifetime learning and career development as one of our core values. We are also committed to making education accessible, providing graduate students at different points in their careers with learning formats and locations that meet their needs.

A first-of-its-kind benefit

Parents and siblings of full-time undergraduate day students are eligible for the Parent and Family Scholarship. To receive the discount, you must provide the Northeastern ID number of your child or sibling—who must be currently enrolled at the university as a full-time undergraduate day student—at the time of your application. Even if the undergraduate day student is a senior, the tuition discount will be applied for as long as it takes to complete your desired graduate program.

This discount applies to tuition only. Once enrolled, you will be responsible for financing the remaining cost of your degree. If you are offered other grant aid from Northeastern, only the scholarship of higher value will be applied. Northeastern reserves the right to review the family size and structure reported by the undergraduate day student in their financial aid applications to ensure consistency with the information provided by the Parent and Family Scholarship applicant.

Those completing pass-through degrees—such as Direct Entry Nursing or a PlusOne accelerated master’s program—do not qualify for the Parent and Family Scholarship.
