Admissions at D'Amore-McKim

Undergraduates

Students who are in the top 10-15 percent of our applicant pool are considered for competitive merit awards. For example, the prestigious Dean's Scholarship honors select students within the top 25 percent of freshmen admitted. Recipients are awarded between $10,000 and $25,000 annually. All fall freshman applicants for undergraduate admission to Northeastern are considered.

MBA and MS Programs

If you apply to a program that offers merit scholarships, you'll automatically receive consideration without a separate application. Outstanding candidates receive merit scholarships based on application strength, including undergraduate records, prior work experience, professional recommendations, any test scores provided, and other application materials.

Merit scholarships typically provide partial tuition reductions and require no work commitment. The Full-Time MBA program offers a limited number of full-tuition scholarships.

Double Husky Scholarship

The Double Husky Scholarship helps Northeastern alumni finance their graduate education by offering a 25 percent tuition discount on eligible programs.

Alumni with a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree from Northeastern are automatically considered for the Double Husky scholarship when they are admitted into an eligible graduate degree or certificate program—there is no special application required. Upon acceptance, applicants receive a letter indicating the tuition discount that applies to their program.

If a student is offered other grant aid from the university, they will only receive the scholarship of higher value. Those completing pass-through degrees, such as the PlusOne accelerated master's program, do not qualify for the Double Husky Scholarship.
