Scholarships & Savings

Even without a scholarship, you can have the benefit of a high-quality UNC Pembroke education at an incredible cost through the NC Promise Tuition Plan! Taking advantage of NC Promise means undergraduate students will pay $500 per semester for in-state tuition and $2,500 per semester for out-of-state tuition. Total annual cost includes tuition, required fees, housing, standard meal plan, and health insurance.

NC Promise dramatically reduces the cost of college, saving over $10,000 for in-state students and $40,000 for out-of-state students over a course of four years. NC Promise does not mean we are reducing the quality of education you will receive here. If anything, it is an opportunity to improve quality, access and affordability.
