Financial Aid and Scholarships

All admitted students are automatically considered for merit based scholarships awarded by the School of Law. Most scholarship decisions are made between March and August (merit based awards for admitted students will be made by April 11). Scholarship recipients will receive email notification of their awards.

If you wish to apply for loans and university grants, you will need to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ by March 1. In order to be eligible for any need based awards, you must complete the FAFSA. Additionally, in order to be considered for need based awards, an applicant must provide parental information on the FAFSA unless he or she has reached the age of 25 by March 1, 2008. Students are generally notified of their entire financial aid package, including student loans, by late June.

For more information about the FAFSA or student loans please go to http://studentaid.unc.edu/ or send questions to aidinfo@unc.edu.
