North Carolina Scholarship
The NC Scholarship is new for 23-24 and consolidates need-based state grant funds and replaces the Education Lottery Scholarship, Community College Grant, and UNC Need-Based Grant. The NC Scholarship requires a minimum enrollment of 6 SHCs and only awards for the Fall and Spring terms. To be considered for the NC Scholarship, students must be a NC resident for tuition purposes, meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
