I'm looking into scholarships specific to North Carolina since that's where I plan to study. Anyone have recommendations or resources that are helpful for finding state-specific scholarships?
Sure, there are many resources you can use to find state-specific scholarships for North Carolina students. One of the best places to start is the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC). CFNC has a comprehensive database of scholarships that are specifically for North Carolina residents, both state-funded and private scholarships. Just make sure to check the eligibility criteria carefully and note the application deadlines.
Also consider checking with your prospective North Carolina universities as they might also offer specific grants or scholarships for state residents. For example, schools like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill or North Carolina State University have a number of scholarships and funding opportunities available to students.
In addition, The North Carolina Sheriffs' Association Undergraduate Criminal Justice Scholarship is a program that awards scholarships to North Carolina residents who are majoring in criminal justice fields at accredited North Carolina universities or colleges. Plus, the Aubrey Lee Brooks Scholarships are based on financial need and are for students from one of the 14 North Carolina counties.
Lastly, Appily (formerly known as Cappex), is an online platform that provides a tool known as "Scholarship Matcher", which could help you find NC-specific scholarships.
Hope you find these suggestions helpful for your scholarship search! Best of luck.
