NC College Promise
As home to the nation’s first public university, North Carolina has a long-standing commitment to educational opportunity for all residents. The NC Promise Tuition Plan reaffirms the state’s commitment to make the university experience affordable and accessible to all.
Through NC Promise, the state has significantly reduced student tuition cost to $500 per semester at three UNC System institutions: Elizabeth City State University, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and Western Carolina University. The plan has increased educational access, reduce student debt, and grow the state’s economy.
