Financial Aid

At UNCP, we believe a high-quality education should be within reach. That’s why affordability and access are central to the UNCP experience — and why we’re committed to helping you understand your options for paying for college.

Financial aid can feel complicated, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. The resources below are a great place to start. Explore financial aid options, stay on top of important deadlines and award updates, and find the information you need to complete your FAFSA and manage your aid.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) opens October 1. Applying for the FAFSA is your first step toward receiving financial aid at UNCP. You also must complete the FAFSA to be considered for UNCP scholarships. Regardless of your financial status, it's important to apply for financial aid. You might be surprised by what's available to help support your education. Apply for Aid
