A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:
The Carolina Covenant (through the Office of Scholarships and Student Aid) makes college possible for qualified students regardless of their financial means. Students from households that earn less than 200% of the federal poverty level graduate debt free. Grants and work-study positions pay the bills. North Carolina residency is not required. A student may be designated as a Covenant Scholar when admitted to Carolina as a first year or transfer student. Carolina was the first major public university in the US to introduce such a program in 2003. Nearly 20% of Carolina students are first generation college students, the first in their families to attend college.
