At UNCP, we do everything we can to help you afford college college. And if you need help, you're not alone. Over 80% of our student body receives some kind of assistance. Simply put, if you get accepted, there are ways for you to join us, regardless of your financial situation – or the condition of the economy. Make no mistake about it, times are tough for public institutions, with lowered state and federal support, but there are still many options – grants, scholarships, fellowships, work-study and loans.
And we'll help you find the option that is right for you.
