Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships

At North Carolina A&T, we believe any student who wishes to pursue their educational goals should be able to do so. As part of that commitment, our Office Financial Aid and Scholarships will work with you to get the financial assistance you need to attend N.C. A&T.

The first step is to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. You will need the N.C. A&T State University Federal School Code to do so. It is 002905. You will also need other documents and resources to successfully complete the form, so the best time to start is NOW! And remember: Once your FAFSA is completed, your information must then go through verification.

Fall 2026 Financial Aid Disbursements

For first-time students, confirmation of New Student Orientation by the Office of New Student Programs must be received by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships before financial aid is displayed on the student's bill.

The first financial aid disbursement for Fall 2026 will occur on September 4. Financial aid funds will not be available before this date. Prepare to cover immediate expenses, such as off-campus housing and supplies, or explore alternative support options until disbursement.

Financial aid disbursement occurs when funds are released to the University Treasurer’s Office. This is not the same as the release of a student refund check. For all refund check updates, please visit Student Refunds. 

Important: Faculty must electronically certify that students have actively begun participating in their courses, typically within the first 10 days of the semester, before financial aid can be disbursed. Aid will not be released until this academic engagement, such as attending class or submitting assignments, is confirmed in accordance with federal regulations.

Submitting Missing Information

Student must pay their bills OR enroll in a payment plan by that date, or risk being de-registered for classes. Don't let that happen to you. Make your arrangements NOW!
