The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is committed to making the Carolina experience accessible to all students who are competitive for admission. This commitment has perhaps best been demonstrated by the Carolina Covenant, a program that allows low-socioeconomic students to enroll in an undergraduate program as a Covenant Scholar and graduate 100% debt-free.

In addition to the Covenant, the University has a variety of other financial aid and scholarship opportunities for deserving students, no matter what their background may be. In fact, the University has become a national model in providing financial access to higher education.

Please contact us at 919-966-3621 if you would like additional information about our access programs. We look forward to working with you and getting to know you better as you move through the application process.
