North Carolina is home to a number of scholarships targeted at in-state students, ranging from those based on academic merit to need-based financial aid. Here are a few well-known North Carolina scholarships:

1. The North Carolina Education Lottery Scholarship: This scholarship is granted to North Carolina residents who have financial need. Eligibility is determined based on the same criteria as the Federal Pell Grant, with the amount awarded to each student varying based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, federal Pell Grant eligibility.

2. The University of North Carolina Morehead-Cain Scholarship: This is a merit-based scholarship available to students hoping to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The scholarship covers full tuition, student fees, housing, meals, books, a laptop, and supplies. It also includes funding for summer opportunities. Students are chosen based on qualities such as leadership, academic achievement, moral force of character, and physical vigor.

3. The Park Scholarships program at North Carolina State University: This program provides a four-year scholarship valued at approximately the full cost of an in-state education for exceptional students. The scholarship even provides funds for enrichment activities, such as study abroad.

Apart from these, there are plenty of local and regional scholarships available as well. To find these scholarships, reach out to your high school guidance office, the financial aid office at the college you plan to attend, and explore databases like Appily. More information about specific scholarships, their application deadlines, and submission requirements are typically available on the respective websites. The key to getting scholarships is applying early and applying to a variety of scholarships. Remember, every bit helps!
