State Grants in North Carolina
Most states offer their own state-wide grants to help residents obtain an affordable education. Here are some of the most prominent state-wide grants in North Carolina:
NC Need-Based Scholarship for Private College Students
This need-based scholarship calculates eligibility through the FAFSA and subsidizes private school education for North Carolina students who end up attending school in-state.
NC Scholarship
North Carolina residents attending a University of North Carolina school can apply for a NC Scholarship if they meet financial need criteria. As long as students meet the criteria for this grant and apply while funds remain, they should receive it; there is no competitive application involved.

The NC Education Lottery Scholarship offers scholarships to NC residents attending schools in the state. Requirements are not especially strict; undergraduate students who meet Pell Grant requirements and fulfill the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements of their school are eligible.

North Carolina does not participate in undergraduate tuition reciprocity programs, but if you are a graduate student, be sure to look into the Academic Common Market, because the state does participate for graduate programs.
