Next NC Scholarship Makes College More Affordable

Next NC Scholarship Makes College More Affordable

Through the Next NC Scholarship, eligible North Carolinians attending a community college will receive at least $3,000, more than the cost of full-time tuition.

Those attending a public university will receive at least $5,000.

The scholarship combines the federal Pell Grant with the state-funded financial aid program to form a simplified and predictable scholarship award that’s easier to understand and makes education more affordable for most North Carolinians.

To apply, fill out the 2025-2026 FAFSA.

If you’re eligible, you’ll receive the NextNC Scholarship.

There are no additional forms or applications to fill out.
