Scholarships are one form of financial aid available to help students pay for college. It is money that does not have to be repaid. Students may also qualify for federal or state grants, or loans. This page on our website focuses on scholarships, but you can learn more about how to pay for college and the other types of financial aid available at College Foundation of NC.

There are many scholarship opportunities available - awarded for academics, special activities, financial need, demographics, etc. Students can find scholarship opportunities at the national, state, and community level, as well as with their chosen college. Below we have provided some resources to get your started. However, each school has their own scholarships, so be sure to check individual college websites for those opportunities. Remember, scholarship searches and applications should never cost money!
