Study Abroad as Early as Your First Summer.
First-Year Admits, being students who were admitted to the John Martinson Honors Program prior to enrolling at Northeastern, have access to funding to support travel during Summer 1 or Summer 2 of their first year.
Overview
To support Honors students’ participation in Dialogue of Civilizations (DOCs) and Summer In programs, first year students have access to a First-Year Summer Fee Waiver. This can be used on any DOC and Summer In experience during Summer 1 or Summer 2 after their first year.
There is no separate application. All first year Honors students who are enrolled in a DOC and Summer In will have the Summer Fee Waiver automatically applied to their student account.
