Dive Brief:
- Northeastern University will not charge active-duty military students who rely on tuition assistance during the government shutdown.
- Tuition payments to active-duty military personnel are suspended during the shutdown.
- The school says it does not expect the shutdown to affect the rest of its students’ federal financial aid.
Dive Insight:
Other colleges have announced similar tuition breaks for military students. About 100 service members are enrolled at Northeastern, but some of their classes began before Oct. 1, when the shutdown occurred, so their payments were not affected.
