If you are a resident of Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming, you may qualify to attend UNC at a reduced tuition rate. As a WUE participant, you are charged a reduced tuition equal to one and one-half times the resident rate. To enhance the geographic diversity of the campus, UNC will enroll students each year as participants in the WUE Scholar Program. This is a competitive program and participation is limited.
Early application is highly recommended.
The program is open only to students enroll for the first time at UNC, and enrollment must begin with fall semester. To be considered for the WUE program, you must be fully admitted to UNC before the deadline dates of February 1 for Freshmen and May 1 for Transfer Students. All academic majors at UNC are available to students in the WUE Scholar Program, however you must meet the major's admission requirements. Awards will be made to the freshman applicants who have a Western Undergraduate Exchange Eligibility Index of 103 or higher, and have been admitted by the February 1 deadline. The ACT composite score or SAT combined score cannot be recalculated using sub-scores from different test dates.
