Penn GSE AHEAD

Good Neighbor, Great University

The Good Neighbor, Great University Scholarship was established in 2011 and is a last-dollar scholarship funded by Northwestern University for graduates of high school sin the cities of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Financial awards range from $1,000 - $12,300/year, depending on demonstrated financial need. Awards are available to students who enroll in the traditional undergraduate program on the Evanston Campus through either the early or regular application process; transfer students are not eligible. Financial need is determined through FAFSA and Profile applications as well as tax returns. Aided students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward degree completion to remain eligible, and scholarship funds generally do not cover summer terms.
