The University of North Carolina is proud to offer academic scholarships to a small number outstanding students each year. All students who are admitted to the University of North Carolina are automatically considered for these scholarships; no additional application materials are necessary. Some academic scholarships take financial need into consideration. Others are completely need-blind. For fullest consideration for academic scholarships, we recommend submitting your FAFSA by January 10. This can cover up to the full cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, housing, meals, and textbooks for four years, along with a $2,500 stipend for research or study abroad opportunities
The University of North Carolina Johnston Scholarship is awarded based on a combination of outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated financial need. Students who apply and submit a FAFSA along with their application to UNC (by the Early Action or Regular Decision deadline) will be considered for this renewable award. Johnston Scholars are automatically invited to join the UNC Scholars Program. The award amounts will vary.
