I'm planning on applying to North Carolina A&T and I was wondering about their scholarships. What scholarships do they offer and how difficult are they to get? Has anyone here received one?
North Carolina A&T State University offers a variety of scholarships. Here are a few of them:
1. The Cheatham-White Scholarship: Full scholarship, covering tuition, fees, housing, meals, textbooks, a laptop, and more. It even offers fully funded study abroad experiences. This is quite competitive and requires a high GPA and strong extracurricular involvement.
2. Dowdy Scholarships: There are several versions of this scholarship, all require a strong academic record.
3. The North Carolina A&T Athletic scholarships: Offered to athletes in various sports.
Some of these scholarships are competitive which means it's important to have a strong academic record and impressive extracurricular activities. Remember, each scholarship will have its own eligibility criteria and application process, so make sure to review all details carefully.
As for the difficulty of receiving these scholarships, it can vary greatly based on the applicant pool that year. I would consider the Cheatham-White Scholarship particularly competitive, given that it offers substantial financial support and additional benefits.
Please note that the University also participates in federal and state grants which you are automatically considered for when you file FAFSA. Be sure to check their website or contact the financial aid office for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Happy applying!
