The mission of the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid is to ensure students can study at Carolina regardless of their ability to pay.
Striving to maximize funds, exercise good stewardship, and support student success, we work together to:
Need assistance with fees for your registered student organization? The Carolina Immersion Fund (CIF) can help! The Carolina Immersion Fund (CIF) will be broken into smaller grants that will be available for students who have a demonstrated financial need to pay for fees associated with any registered student organizations they may be involved in at UNC.
In an effort to simplify the financial aid process you will see a new FAFSA for 2024-2025, this is part of what is known as FAFSA Simplification. The FAFSA Simplification Act represents a significant overhaul of the processes and systems used to award federal student aid.
To protect and keep your information safe you will need to set up two Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) in ConnectCarolina. The PINs will be requested from you, or someone asking for information on your behalf to discuss account information when calling, emailing, or coming in person to our office.
