NEXT NC Scholarship
Attend our Next NC Fair: July 16th, 4:30pm-7:30pm, CVCC West Wing Commons.
What is the Next NC Scholarship?
The Next NC Scholarship is a financial aid program that helps most North Carolinians from households making $80,000 or less pursue a higher education by fully covering tuition and fees at any community college or more than half, if not all, of tuition and fees to attend any public university in the state. The scholarship can also go toward books, food, and housing. It combines the federal Pell Grant with the state-funded financial aid program to form a simplified and predictable scholarship.
Qualifying students can earn up to $3,000 towards tuition and fees at CVCC.
The best part? It’s money that doesn’t have to be repaid.
