The mission of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid is to ensure students can study at Carolina regardless of their ability to pay.
Striving to maximize funds, exercise good stewardship, and support student success, we work together to:
In an effort to simplify the financial aid process you will see a new FAFSA for 2024-2025, this is part of what is known as FAFSA Simplification. The FAFSA Simplification Act represents a significant overhaul of the processes and systems used to award federal student aid.
We will expand the University’s long-standing commitment to access and affordability for North Carolina families. This commitment broadens that tradition established by successful and inspiring programs such as the Carolina Covenant and Blue Sky Scholars, among others. We want to make sure students know financial constraints should not stand in the way of their dreams. – Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Chancellor
