Financial Aid
The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) is dedicated to helping students find a feasible, affordable way to pursue a degree at UNCW. The first step in applying for aid is to fill out the FAFSA, which is available for free at www.fafsa.gov. This form determines eligibility for federal aid programs, including federal work-study programs, grants for tuition, and loans.
Students may also apply for scholarships through the OSFA and departmental website. Most departments offer awards that typically range between $500 and $1500. Criteria for the scholarships may include academic excellence, financial need, a minimum GPA, or general merit.
OSFA also provides a number of resources and guidelines for those seeking outside aid. Students can earn scholarship money from the state of North Carolina, from sponsored scholarship competitions that appear on UNCW
