NC A&T State University attempts to help the qualified student who might otherwise be unable to complete his
or her university education. Financial assistance in the form of grants,
loans, scholarships and part-time employment is available from Federal,
private and corporate sources.
The following financial aid guidelines were in
effect at the time of publication but are subject to change.
To be considered for Federally funded aid, such as
- the Pell (Basic) Grant which is based on the entitlement concept
- the
campus based National Direct Student Loan Program
- the College
Work-Study program
- the Supplementary Education Opportunity Grant
you should start completing applications while still in high school by
completing the following steps:
- Submit a Family Financial Statement (FFS) to
the American College Testing Services (ACTS).
Be sure to include the
NC A & T code number on this application, and check the
appropriate box indicating information that may be sent to the Pell
Grant office.
- Four to six weeks after filing the FFS you will
receive your Student Aid Report (SAR).
Submit this with a copy of a
parent and student 1040 or 1040A tax form as applicable from the
previous tax year to the Financial Aid Office at A & T.
The Strafford Student Loan program allows student
to borrow from banks and other financial institutions.
In addition to the above general sources of
financial assistance, engineering applicants who gain admission may be
eligible for assistance from private sources such as
- the National Action
Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc., (NACME)
- formerly the
National Foundation for Minority Engineering Students (NFMES)
- the R.J.
Reynolds Scholarship fund and others
back to top
Students are invited to apply for NACME
scholarships, and selection is based on their potential to succeed as
engineers demonstrated by past academic performance.
Funding begins in
the freshman year and continues until graduation on condition that an
acceptable level of academic performance is maintained, and the student
remains within the engineering program.
Corporate scholarships are available to selected
minority, majority and women engineering students. Eligibility is
generally based on proven academic performance over one or more
semesters, plus evidence that the student has exceeded the academic and
other guidelines set by the benefactor.
The programs vary, usually
carrying special conditions and often involving a summer internship as
in the Co-op program.
In return, the selected student may receive
partial or full tuition, book allowance while at school, and valuable
practical engineering experience with pay during the summer.
Please
consult with the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies for details.
