Each school actively recruits and selects qualified minority students for enrollment. Each North Carolina law school offers a variety of available financial aid options for incoming students. Most students finance their legal education through federal educational loans, both subsidized and unsubsidized. The maximum and minimum amounts vary by the student's need and the school's costs. In addition to loans, most schools have grants and scholarships for students on the basis of need and academic achievement as well as work-study programs.
Every student has the ability to apply for and receive a scholarship or grant.
Several of the scholarship programs were founded by or for minorities. The Black Law Students Association sponsors a partial scholarship awarded on an annual basis to an African American student. Applicants qualify for a number of academic and need-based grants and scholarships. Each student will be advised on his or her options by a financial aid officer from the school. Students may apply for federal loans and grants before or after gaining admission to the school.
