The Next NC Scholarship is a financial aid program that helps most North Carolinians from households making $80,000 or less pursue higher education by fully covering tuition and fees for curriculum programs at Coastal Carolina Community College.
As a student of Coastal Carolina Community College, you may be eligible to receive at least $3,000.
The scholarship offer can be used for things beyond tuition. Some examples include: fees, books, and digital class materials.
