The Covenant FAQ page may have an answer to your question that wasn’t addressed here.

To continue to receive financial aid under the Carolina Covenant after the first year, a Scholar must:

  • Meet current income/financial need requirements;
  • Be enrolled at Carolina and making steady progress toward a degree;
  • Be in compliance with federal financial aid standards and related institutional policies; and
  • Meet the March 1 priority application deadline for financial aid.

We will never identify you without your permission. The names of Covenant Scholars may be released to Carolina faculty and staff who have a legitimate educational interest, as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Otherwise, the identification of Covenant Scholars will not be disclosed without the student’s permission.

Students who receive financial aid under the Covenant will be tracked in the University’s financial aid system, but their identities are protected, in keeping with Carolina’s confidentiality policies regarding the disclosure of personal information.

There is no separate application. All incoming first-year and transfer students are evaluated for eligibility. You can read more about the eligibility guidelines here.
