NORTH CAROLINA STUDENT INCENTIVE GRANT PROGRAM
Legal residents of North Carolina accepted for enrollment or enrolled full time, in good standing, in an undergraduate program of study in an eligible college, technical or vocational school in North Carolina may apply for Student Incentive Grants to help pay their educational expenses. Students must demonstrate, "substantial financial need" as determined through the need analysis system of the Free Application For Federal Student Aid. The amount of each grant will be based on the individual student's demonstrated financial need in relation to resources and cost of education but may not exceed one-half of unmet need or $1,500 per academic year whichever is less.

The student is required to apply for a Federal PELL Grant as a prerequisite to applying for a North Carolina Student Incentive Grant.
