This site provides numerous scholarship opportunities for the school year. In addition to the opportunities below, many colleges and universities post their own scholarships and grants. Need and merit based scholarships are typically, as well as departmental/college scholarships and endowments, found on the admissions or financial aid pages of the college or university in which you are interested. Additionally, applications for many honors and special scholarships are only open during the early action application time frame. Please make sure you check the application dates. Should you not find any listings, please use the college/university search engine and type in scholarships and then search.
Visit CFNC for more info on Scholarships, FAFSA, and Grants.
