NC Countdown to College
Residency | FAFSA | Applications
NC Countdown to College (C2C) is a year-long initiative to help high school seniors learn about three college enrollment steps: residency, financial aid, and college applications. Many North Carolina colleges and universities participate in C2C by waiving application fees during College Application Week (CAW), which begins on October 21 at 7:30 a.m. and ends on October 27 at 11:59 p.m. We’re working to understand what additional resources and programs may be available in the coming months for students impacted by Hurricane Helene. Our thoughts and support are with those in western North Carolina affected by the storm.
Complete your NC residency determination to be considered for in-state tuition (a significant savings in the cost of going to college), state grants/scholarships, and certain financial aid!
