Scholarships & Grants

Need-based: 

  • Need-based grants and need-based scholarships are basically the same thing – money available for students based on financial need to help pay for college.

  • North Carolina and the federal government are the best sources of these for North Carolinians, but need-based grants and scholarships are also available from colleges and other private groups.

Merit-based: 

  • Merit scholarships and grants are generally available from colleges and universities, as well as foundations and other organizations.

  • Awards may be made based on things like academic achievement, dramatic ability, athletic talent, leadership or other outstanding achievements or capabilities.
