No documents are needed during the application process, but tax transcripts and proof of residency may be requested by NCSEAA prior to finalizing awards. Are all families guaranteed to receive an award? The funds allocated in the North Carolina budget for the Opportunity Scholarship are limited for the 2024-25 school year, therefore it is possible that the number of applicants will exceed the amount of funding available.

Even if your family falls into a higher Tier and may not receive an award this upcoming year, please do still apply.

Other Financial Aid Opportunities North Carolina offers two scholarship programs that help families afford our schools. Funds for these programs are limited, so new applicants are entered into a lottery where they have an equal chance of being selected. Families may apply to more than one program, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements of each. ​ Initially a need-based program, the North Carolina legislature voted to expand the program significantly so that all North Carolina families are eligible to apply for the 2024-2025 school year. What does this mean for our families? · There are no changes for families who already have the scholarship. They will be able to renew it in the same way they have in previous years. · There is no longer an income requirement to qualify for the scholarship. However, the number of scholarship levels will be expanded, so that a family’s income will determine the amount of the scholarship a student receives. The income and corresponding scholarship levels are anticipated to be published in January 2024. · Students in the 3rd grade and higher will no longer be required to have attended a North Carolina public school within the past year. This means that families whose students have been enrolled in a private school may now apply. · Applications for the 2024-2025 school year open on February 1, 2024. Applications Closed fo r 2023-2024 Applications Open for 2024-2025 on February 1st, 2024 ​ The Opportunit y Scholarship Program Suitable for: parents who qualify based on income Education Savings Account (ESA+) Suitable for: parents of students with disabilities* These two programs are available to meet the needs of students with disabilities: The Disabilities Grant and the Education Savings Account Program (ESA).
