- NCCU Grant and NCCU Eagle Grant: These institutional grants are awarded to NC undergraduate students. Priority is given to Pell Grant recipients.
Loan Options for Undergraduate Students
- Federal Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans: A guaranteed student loan for undergraduates who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who have demonstrated financial need as determined by federal regulations. The federal government provides limits on the amount of Direct Subsidized loans that a student may be eligible to receive in each academic year and in total. Limits vary based on the student’s year in school and financial need.
- Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans: A guaranteed student loan for U.S. citizens or permanent residents who do not demonstrate financial need under federal regulations. Direct Unsubsidized loans may also be available to undergraduates who have reached the borrowing limit for Direct Subsidized loans.
- Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan: Loan for the parents of dependent undergraduate students. A credit check will be performed and will exclude anyone with an adverse credit history. Direct PLUS loan amounts are limited to the cost of attendance minus any other financial assistance received.
If you’re a student seeking need-based financial assistance, your first step is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You should submit your FAFSA as early as possible, and no later than October 1 for the next academic year. The Federal School Code for North Carolina Central University is 002950.
