If you’re a senior at a North Carolina public high school with a weighted GPA of 2.8 or above, and you meet the NC College Connect requirements (more on that below), you are automatically admitted to select North Carolina colleges and universities. Eligible students will see a tailored list of colleges and universities in their CFNC portal, reflecting the institutions to which they have been offered admission. Please see attached website for more information! Eligible students received a letter in the mail!

What is the FAFSA?

The FAFSA is the form students need to fill out in order to be considered for federal financial aid each year to help make paying for college more manageable.
