| Description |
The North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant Program was created by the 1975 General Assembly and is administered by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA). It was designed by the General Assembly to assist residents wishing to attend a North Carolina independent, nonprofit institution to meet the higher costs of tuition and related educational expenses. The existing Legislative Tuition Grant
Program, which provides grant awards to North Carolina students attending private colleges and universities, has been expanded to include eligible students attending on a part-time basis. Part-time students must be enrolled for at least 9 credit hours per semester to be eligible for the prorated awards. Eligible full-time students will receive $1,950 for the 2007-08 academic year. This represents an increase of $50 over last year.
