Financial Aid
Financial Aid
Financing a college education can be a somewhat daunting task for When you take into account tuition, room and board, student fees, books, supplies, and that parking ticket you got last week – it is easy to see how the thought of paying for your education can become overwhelming.
N.C. State provides students with a variety of resources which allow you to stay informed and develop a personalized plan for paying your college-related expenses. Is work study for me? What is the difference between a grant and a loan? What is a FAFSA? Who is my financial aid counselor? These are all questions that the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid can help answer. Check out this link to learn more about the different types of assistance available to you as an N.C. State student. The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid’s main website may also answer some of your other questions.
Don’t forget – the College of Education provides numerous yearly scholarships particularly earmarked for our students. To see a complete list of scholarship opportunities, click here.
