U.S. Department of Education Grants Initiatives
At NEIU, your goals are within reach—and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Through our grant-funded programs, students gain access to meaningful opportunities that make education more affordable, practical, and career-ready.
With generous funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Northeastern is paving ways for students to receive the support they need to make their dreams into a reality. Visit the IMPACTOS and SPEED grant pages to see how students and other members of the Northeastern community can get involved!
