Apply to College for FREEπ€ this Month
Thinking about starting or returning to college? Adult learners can save on college application fees this month!
During College Application Week, participating North Carolina colleges and universities will waive their application fees when you apply through CFNC.org.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now open! You can create an account and complete the form at FAFSA.gov.
Completing the FAFSA opens the doors to financial aid, such as grants and scholarships from federal and state government as well as from colleges and universities. This money is first-come first-served so it's important to take action early. For more information about the FAFSA, visit CFNC.org/FAFSA101.
Helping you plan, apply, and pay for college. College for North Carolina promotes access to North Carolina higher education through education planning, career planning, and applying & paying for college.
