We understand - paying for college isn't easy.
Your academy journey can seem like an uphill battle. But NIU and the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology (CEET) offer a variety of ways to help you financially so you can focus on earning your degree and embarking on your career.
As an incoming College of Engineering and Engineering Technology student, you are automatically considered for university merit-based scholarships.
You are also eligible to apply for additional NIU and CEET scholarships as soon as you've been admitted, and our college offers more than 20 donor-funded scholarships.
Donations to our engineering and engineering technology scholarships are greatly appreciated. For more information, please inquire at ceet@niu.edu.
Below is a partial list of scholarships available specifically for CEET students. You can search and apply for all NIU scholarships on MyScholarships, administered by the NIU Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. January 31 is a common application deadline for scholarships.
