Eligibility
To qualify for summer grants and scholarships, you must be enrolled in at least three credit hours, and you will automatically be considered once registered.
For NCNext scholarships, you must be registered for six credits and have received an NC Next scholarship during the academic year.
To be eligible for federal loans, you must be enrolled in at least six credit hours and have remaining eligibility. Loans will automatically be offered when awards are posted, but need to be accepted before the end of the associated summer term with the Master Promissiory Note (MPS) and Entrance counseling complete before they will disburse.
The last day to add classes for all summer sessions to be considered for financial aid eligibility is the last day of the summer 1 drop add period.
