EARN

Male Student with Backpack Crouching

 
EARN was established by the 2007 North Carolina General Assembly to provide grants to eligible students to enable them to obtain an education beyond the high school level at community colleges and public universities in North Carolina without incurring student loans during the first two years of their postsecondary education.  
As part of the effort to balance the 2010 state budget, the General Assembly was forced to discontinue this program as of January, 2010.  
 

For fall 2009, the maximum grant for which a student will be eligible is $2,000. The EARN grant plus other financial aid cannot exceed the cost of attendance established by each college or university. No EARN Grants will be available as of January, 2010.

Grants and Scholarships are awarded based on information you provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), so Apply Now.
