Honors Merit Tuition Award
Northeastern Illinois University offers Honors
Merit Tuition Awards to selected Honors students to reward
academic excellence. Honors Merit Tuition Awards at Northeastern
Illinois University are granted on the basis of academic
merit, scholarly activities, and community involvement.
Honors Merit Tuition Awards are not based on financial need.
The number of tuition awards is limited and, as a result,
these awards are competitive. Awards are granted for one
semester, however, in most cases students who received an
award for the Fall semester and remain in good standing
at the end of the Fall semester will receive a comparable
award for the Spring semester of that same academic year.
All students in the University Honors Program are eligible
to apply for the Honors Merit Tuition Award. Students must
apply by the applicable deadlines set for each semester.
The deadlines are December 1st for Spring semester and May
1st for Fall semester.
In order to be eligible for an Honors Merit Tuition Award,
students must be in good standing in the University Honors
Program. Good standing requires a student to have a minimum
GPA of 3.25 in both Honors and non-Honors coursework. For
entering freshmen, the criteria are based on ACT/SAT scores
and high school class rank. In addition students must register
for and complete at least one Honors course each semester.
Please note that good standing only makes a student eligible
for an Honors Merit Tuition Award; the award is competitive
and requires a GPA in excess of 3.25.
For need-based assistance please consult the Financial
Aid Office.

Award, please complete the APPLICATION
