Value is determined by what you get, not how much you pay. UNC Asheville provides the benefits of a private college -- low student-faculty ratios, undergraduate research and a challenging liberal arts curriculum -- all at a state school price. Most importantly, our students graduate with some of the lowest average levels of debt among North Carolina's public universities.

Financial Aid

UNC Asheville students can qualify for a wide range of financial assistance and loan programs.

  • More than half of our students receive financial aid. 
  • 88% of these students' financial needs were met.
  • You can apply for federal, state and institutional aid.
