Resources for Admitted and Current Students

If you applied for aid already and have not yet received your financial aid offer, please keep an eye on your email as our office may be contacting you for additional information. If you haven't heard from our office a week after receiving your admissions decision, please send us an email at undergradaid@u.northwestern.edu.

Your financial aid award, our sample aid award letter, and our billing and budget request form are all good ways to get an estimate of what you can expect to see on your bill.

Billing and Budget Estimation

If you have applied for aid already and have received your financial aid offer, please review:

1. Our sample offer letter to help you understand all the details, and
2. Our resource on accepting or declining your aid offer for how to respond.

Your financial aid package is intended to cover all costs, but it's important to plan and budget smartly, starting early on, to be prepared for additional or unforeseen costs, such as added travel, transportation personal costs.

Please visit our Financial Wellness page to get ahead and plan.
