The annual award will be $4,000 per year for students enrolled full time (a minimum of 12 credit hours for both the fall and spring semesters). One half
of the award is made available to the recipients in the fall semester and the remainder in the spring semester. Recipients may renew the scholarship-loan
up to two years. Funding for the program is contingent each year upon appropriations made available to the State Education Assistance Authority by the General Assembly.

| Application Procedure |
The dean of the School of Education or Education Department will nominate potential recipients. The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority
will make final selections from the nominees submitted across the state. Once selections have been made all nominees will be notified and recipients will
receive a promissory note to complete and return to the SEAA.
Please note that students who are current recipients of the Prospective Teacher Scholarship/Loan, the Future Teachers of North Carolina Scholarship/Loan, or the Teaching Fellows Program are not eligible to receive funding from the PEC program.

| Other Information |
The PEC scholarship-loan recipient enters into a contract with the State of North Carolina to work full time as a teacher and coach or assistant coach in the State's public schools. One year of service as a full time teacher (minimum of 9 calendar months in a fiscal year) cancels one year of funding support received. Service repayment must be completed within five years from graduation. The interest rate for cash repayment is 10% and the cash repayment must be made within ten years of graduation.
