Northeastern has partnered with City Year to offer City Year AmeriCorps members, alumni, and staff a scholarship equal to 25% of tuition (per credit) to all admitted City Year applicants for bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in the College of Professional Studies.

The scholarship will be applied for the duration of the program for up to seven years from initial enrollment. Scholarships are awarded to City Year AmeriCorps members and alumni who complete at least one term of service and City Year staff employed for at least two years.

How to apply

When completing the application, please select “City Year” in answer to the questions “Are you affiliated with one of the following associations, organizations, companies, etc.?” and “Are you currently employed at one of the following?” to identify your City Year affiliation.

To be eligible for the scholarship, a service verification letter must be requested by emailing [email protected] with “Northeastern University College of Professional Studies (grad or undergrad)” in the subject line. Within the email, include the site where you served and your AmeriCorps graduation month and year. This letter will be sent from City Year back to you to be uploaded to your application file.
