NC Countdown to College (C2C) is a month-long initiative to help high school seniors learn more about taking three important college enrollment steps: residency, applying for financial aid, and college applications. Many North Carolina colleges and universities participate in C2C by waiving application fees during College Application Week (CAW) - a great way to save on college costs! This year, CAW begins on October 21 at 7:30 a.m. and ends on October 27 at 11:59 p.m.
Complete your NC residency determination to be considered for in-state tuition (a significant savings in the cost of going to college), state grants/scholarships, and certain financial aid!
Learn more about financial aid and the FAFSA to help you pay for college. We can help! The FAFSA application will open in December, but you can set up your FSA ID account now.
