Scholarships & Financial Aid

The Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid is a resource and information center to help students achieve their educational goals. The Office guides students throughout the process of securing resources necessary to pay for their college education. A college education is one of the biggest investments and expenses one will incur in a lifetime. Financial aid is a mechanism used to accomplish this achievement. In order for the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid to determine a students eligibility for federal, state and most institutional financial aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application is available after January 1st each year and requires the parental and student tax information for the previous tax year. There are four basic sources of financial aid offered. The eligibility requirements vary for each. THE BASIC SOURCES OF FINANCIAL AID: Federal the federal government is the largest source of financial aid; some programs are based upon financial need and others are available regardless of a students ability to pay. State recipients of state funds must be a resident of North Carolina; students are automatically considered for aid upon completion of the FAFSA. Institutional need based aid is available in the form of grants, scholarships and loans to students with financial need as determined by the results of the FAFSA. Private - civic organizations, associations, clubs, foundations, churches, and businesses provide financial assistance for education expenses.
Financial Aid is available and consists of two different types: Gift Aid, which consists of grants and scholarships that do not have to be repaid and Self-Help Aid, which consists of loans and student employment. THE TYPES OF FINANCIAL AID: Grants provides assistance to students that have financial need. Grants typically do not require repayment. Examples are the PELL Grant, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), TEACH Grant, NC Need Based, and the NC Lottery. Scholarships awards to students based on high academic achievement, special talents or skills. Students are not required to complete the FAFSA for consideration of merit scholarships; however some scholarship may be based on academic achievement and financial need. Loans - a source of aid that must be repaid, usually with interest, after students graduate or stop going to school. The Department of Education administers all student loans through the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. They also offer credit-based loans for Parents and Graduate students. Employment - a self-help program enabling students to work and earn money to help pay school expenses. Federal Work-study is a need-based program and eligibility is determined by the results of the FAFSA. If students are not able to participate in the Federal Work-Study program, job opportunities are available through Career Services.
