As
part of the University of North Carolina system, NC
State University is dedicated to keeping the cost of an exceptional
undergraduate education as low as possible. Especially when
compared with private colleges and universities, NC State's
historic commitment to access to higher education for all students
means that the cost of attending NC State is among the lowest
in the nation.
Consequently,
academically able students attending NC State do have opportunities
to compete for merit scholarships and academic programs offered
through the University, through private foundations, and through
the
University's
individual
colleges.
In
addition, the University is committed helping
incoming freshmen
who:
- demonstrate
financial need
- are
selected to participate in Honors
- meet
the March 1 Financial
Aid Preference deadline.
