Northeastern University BHA Scholars Program
The BHA is excited to partner with Boston's own Northeastern University to offer a full-tuition scholarship for BHA Public Housing residents (including Hope VI Sites). Unfortunately, at this time voucher/leased housing residents are not eligible.
Check out this informational flyer in English and Spanish.
The scholarship is available to recent high-school graduates looking for a traditional undergraduate bachelor's degree program, or students of any age interested in a bachelor's completion program through the College of Professional Studies (CPS). CPS offers flexible options for learners, including online and evening class options, and fall, spring, summer start dates. The CPS application process is explained here, and you can reach out to Evan Grenier, Director of Undergraduate Admissions for the College of Professional Studies, by email with any questions.
