Northern Illinois University pays admitted international first-year students between $5,000 and $9,000 a year, on a grade average of at least 3.5.
One condition narrows it sharply: the award is valid only for students who are fully family-sponsored. A student funded by a government or an organisation does not qualify.
The scholarship is renewable. The university does not publish a deadline or state clearly whether a separate application step is required, so confirm both with its admissions office.
