美国西北大学位于美国伊利诺伊州的小镇埃文斯通。学院建立于1851年，在成立之时学院并没有教职员工及学生，甚至也没有建筑物。如今西北大学已经成为一所顶尖的私立研究大学。西北大学设有文理学院，音乐学院，梅迪尔新闻学院，迈科密克工程及应用科学院，教育学院，社会学院以及继续教育学院。学院最热门的专业为新闻，梅迪尔新闻学院是公认的全美最好的新闻学院之一，可与哥伦比亚大学的新闻学院相媲美。
那么申请美国西北大学的学生如果想要再申请该校的奖学金，都需要哪些条件呢？下面是美国西北大学几项主要奖学金的申请标准介绍：
Eligibility:
NU Appropriated Scholarship: Awards are based on demonstrated institutional financial need and availability of funding at the time the student applies. Recipients come from a wide range of income backgrounds.
NU Endowed Scholarship: NU Endowed Scholarships are funds that have been given to Northwestern University by friends and alumni who have an interest in helping students meet their educational expenses. Students who are eligible for the NU Scholarship will be considered for a variety of endowed scholarships if they also meet the donors' other selection criteria.
Award range: $250 to over $40,000 annually.
While Northwestern scholarship eligibility is determined by more than just income, the chart below illustrates the average Northwestern scholarships awarded to admitted freshmen by family Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). Keep in mind that this chart reflects Northwestern aid only, and not federal or state grants and outside scholarships, which many of our students receive. Nearly all of our students from families making less than $30,000, for example, qualify for federal grants (Pell and SEOG) upwards of $9,550.
