Big 8 Scholarships

The Big 8 Application Process: The Big 8 are full-ride scholarships to UNC Chapel Hill, NC State, UNC Charlotte, Davidson, Duke, ECU, NC A&T, and NCCU. This year I'm including schools that do not require school nominations but still have an application process you should be aware of. The five schools that have school nominations are: UNC - Chapel Hill, UNC Charlotte, Davidson, NC A&T, and NCCU. The three schools that don't have school nominations are Duke, NC State, and ECU. More information about each application can be found in the presentation below.

The Process:

1. Complete the SSS Nomination Application (released in August of each year)

2. Sign up for an interview if selected.

3. Chosen nominees will then have 3+ weeks to work on the college admissions and scholarship applications.
