The University of North Carolina system announced today that some institutions are extending application deadlines, scholarship deadlines and fee waivers for students impacted by Hurricane Helene. As some of these changes impact schools participating in the NC College Connect pilot, we wanted to provide this information to those involved in this work.
Fee Waivers
The following universities are extending fee waivers beyond College Application Week for students in the 39 disaster-declared counties and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. More information is available on each university’s website.
Several other institutions are offering free applications to high school students from disaster-declared counties during College Application Week, October 21-27: Appalachian State University; NC State University; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; University of North Carolina at Charlotte; University of North Carolina at Greensboro; and University of North Carolina Wilmington.
Visit CFNC.org for a list of institutions participating in College Application Week for all students.
