We recommend that if you have not received the renewal form by January, contact the financial aid office to get one. Loans Loans are available to all students, regardless of financial circumstances. Loan assistance for students with financial need is available from the Federal Perkins and Stafford Subsidized Loan Programs and from institutional funds. Students who do not meet requirements for need-based loans may apply for other Federal loan programs, including Parent Loans and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans. Although repayment may begin and interest on these loans accrues during the in-school period, terms are usually more reasonable than for commercial loans.
Many students work part time during the school year to meet a portion of their expenses.
Information on the Work-Study program can be obtained from the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid. Many other jobs, not reserved for students with financial need, are available in University offices, departments and libraries, and in businesses in the University community. Your student may choose to work in the Student Stores, possibly at one of the snack or coffee bars, or maybe in one of the libraries. Most campus jobs keep students involved with other students. The Carolina Jobs Program, located in University Career Services, is a centralized listing of on-campus jobs available for all students.
