Graduate Student Scholarships

Regional Campus Scholarships

The College of Science currently offers graduate education across our global network at the following campuses: Oakland, CA, Portland, ME, and Toronto, Canada. By applying to a COS graduate program at one of these campuses, you will automatically be considered for a Regional Campus Scholarship. Available scholarships vary by term and information on an award will be included with an offer of admission. Note that these scholarships are not transferable to alternative programs of study, terms, or campuses.

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Graduate Fellowship Program provides six graduate student scholarships each year, covering full tuition and fees (insurance is not included) for the students’ graduate program. This program is administered by the John D. O’Bryant African American Institute.

Military Benefits

Northeastern University is proud to offer support for U.S. veterans and active-duty service members. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a voluntary agreement between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Northeastern University that helps pay for tuition costs that exceed the annual tuition cap.

Scholarships Outside of Northeastern

We encourage all graduate students to explore support options outside of Northeastern as well.
