What is CFNC (College Foundation of North Carolina)?
Going to College? You must Complete the FAFSA your senior year
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the form you need to fill out to get any financial aid from the federal government to help pay for college. Each year, over 13 million students who file the FAFSA get more than $120 billion in grants, work-study, and low-interest loans from the U.S. Department of Education.
Lots of states and colleges also use the FAFSA to determine which students get financial aid—and how much they’ll get.
The FAFSA asks for information about you and your family’s finances, including tax returns, so you’ll need your parents’ help to complete it.
What are the steps/documents you need when completing the FAFSA? https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out

Join the Pack at NSCU through C3
What is C3?
C3 seeks students who demonstrate potential for academic success through previous high school or community college performance and exhibit a high level of motivation and perseverance in the face of challenges (as may be evidenced by their ability to overcome obstacles; manage family, work, and/or military responsibilities; and/or showcase their entrepreneurial spirit).
Who can apply?
C3 is open to students immediately after completing high school or for community college students who have completed less than 30 credit hours of college work.
Participants should be from low-to-moderate income households.
To be eligible for C3, students must be classified as a resident for tuition purposes through the North Carolina Residency Determination Service (RDS).
First-generation students, students from rural communities and military veterans are also encouraged to apply.
C3 is open to students considering any major that NC State offers. However, we do not recommend that students considering a studio-based major within the College of Design apply for C3. Students may apply for C3 if they are interested in the Design Studies major.
Additionally, students who are interested in majoring in Biomedical Engineering at NC State will be required to submit additional application information and go through an additional review process prior to their consideration for that program. Admission into this joint degree program with UNC-Chapel Hill is very competitive and space is limited.
