UNC Asheville Office of Financial Aid

There is a reason that UNC Asheville is consistently recognized as a “best buy” year after year. Apart from our stellar academics and nationally-competitive low tuition prices, we strive to provide financial assistance to help students remove the financial barriers in obtaining a higher education. Over 80% of our student’s eligible need is provided by financial aid.

The University of North Carolina at Asheville has a broad program of financial aid including scholarships, federal, state and institutional aid for students who qualify on the basis of need and/or academic potential.

Please peruse our website to get better acquainted with the financial aid process. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
