You can afford Carolina. We’ll help you find a way.
Carolina offers an exceptional education at an affordable price. And if you can’t pay the full cost, we offer outstanding financial aid.
We work hard to ensure that every student who earns a place at Carolina can afford to enroll. Nearly half of Carolina students receive some form of aid, and only 1 in 3 students borrow to help afford school. For those who do take loans, average student debt at Carolina is well below similar schools.
More than 1 in 10 students qualifies for the Carolina Covenant, an aid program that helps low-income students graduate debt-free.
Apply for aid by March 1 to find out what kind of help is available.
