The North Carolina Community Foundation (NCCF) has opened a period of application for high school students across the state to apply for more than 140 scholarships. The total amount of those representing nearly $1.8 million in available scholarship funds.
Most NCCF scholarships close for 2025 applications on March 3. The group said there is no cost to apply, and students can apply online using the group’s Universal Scholarships Application.
The Universal Scholarships Application, which was released for use last year, matches information about the student – such as county of residence, GPA or intended major – with criteria for approximately 130 scholarships. Students are then alerted to all scholarships for which they may be eligible and must submit any required supplemental information to apply.
About a dozen other NCCF scholarships have separate applications with different due dates. NCCF said students are encouraged to review the criteria for those and follow the instructions on how to apply.
