Don't Be Misled By a Larger Scholarship

Other universities may offer you a larger scholarship, but don’t forget, NU’s tuition is significantly lower. A $16,000 scholarship from NU may still result in a lower overall cost than a larger scholarship from a more expensive university. When comparing scholarships, be sure to look at their impact on the overall cost.
