Employer Tuition Reimbursement
The University's Employer Reimbursement Plan (ERP) is designed for students whose employers offer reimbursement for tuition costs. The plan allows participants to defer their employer-covered tuition payments to Northwestern until after the term has been completed. Please contact the Office of Student Accounts for more information and an application form.
Financial Obligation
Students will be required to pay tuition costs and any costs associated with any books and materials.
Financial Aid Eligibility
Students in master's degree programs may qualify for federal or private loans. Federal loan eligibility is usually limited to students taking at least two units of credit in the quarter for which they receive aid. Please note that depending on course availability, students may need to take a break for one or two quarters to maintain the two-credit minimum course load requirement for financial aid.
As at most universities, Northwestern University aid, assistantships, and stipends are reserved for PhD and MFA candidates.
