Dear Parents and Students,

As we head into the holiday session, I wanted to share a few additional resources to help keep your students on track:

1. Check Out This Scholarship Opportunity: Fidelity Scholars Program Applications Open

The Fidelity Scholars Program combines a generous annual needs-based scholarship with robust wrap-around services that support students’ persistence to degree or certificate attainment.
FSP provides a last dollar scholarship opportunity to high school seniors and GED recipients, ages 16-24, who will be enrolling at a 4-year college/university for the first time in Fall 2024.

If a student meets the eligibility criteria listed below, they can apply:

• 2.5 – 3.5 unweighted GPA or GED

• Demonstrate financial need

• Enroll at a 4-year, not-for-profit college or university in your home state

• Come from underrepresented populations and historically underserved communities

Learn more about the program and apply here.

1. NC Residency (RDS)

If you have not done so already, it's crucial to complete the NC Residency Determination Service. NC Residency is used to qualify students for in-state tuition and state scholarships/grants. Ensure you've completed this essential step to maximize financial benefits for your students' college journey.

1. Funding Opportunities - Scholarships

Looking for funding options? Check out our Scholarship Spreadsheet, which compiles national, state, local, and scholarship databases for a wide range of funding opportunities. It's a valuable resource to help your students explore various scholarship options and streamline the search process.
