What financial assistance is available?

Applicants are encouraged to complete FASFA forms because many scholarships are need-based and you cannot be considered if you have not completed a FASFA. Financial Aid information here: https://ninercentral.charlotte.edu/financial-aid-loans/four-steps-financial-aid
