We work hard to keep Carolina affordable for every student who earns admission.

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:

  • Assist in the recruitment, retention, and success of our students,
  • Improve quality and efficiency while providing great care,
  • Remain inclusive in all policies and practices,
  • Honor diversity and show respect to one another, and
  • Support the University’s enrollment and campus community goals
