Major Scholarships

<p>What are the major/full tuiton scholarships that UNC offer? How many people get them per year? Do you have to fill out separate applications for them or are they included in the regular application?
Sorry for so many questions at once.</p>

<p>I assume you are asking about merit-based scholarships: </p>

<p>The</a> Office of Scholarships & Student Aid at UNC-Chapel Hill</p>

<p>Need-based here: The</a> Office of Scholarships & Student Aid at UNC-Chapel Hill</p>

<p>Here's an overview of UNC-Chapel Hill's merit based aid programs. Unless otherwise noted, they do not require a separate application.</p>

<p>Major "Named" scholarships
- Robertson Scholars (selected on service/academics/leadership, full ride + summer enrichment, joint program with Duke University, separate application optional but encouraged) -- see Robertson</a> Scholars: Homepage
- Morehead-Cain Scholars (selected on leadership/academics/service, full ride + summer enrichment, amazing alumni network, separate application required) -- see The</a> Morehead-Cain Scholars Program
- Carolina Scholars (selected on academics, full ride for out-of-state students, $7,500 grant for in-state)
- Pogue Scholars (focus on diversity, including socioeconomic diversity; full ride for out-of-state students; $7,500 grant for in-state; requires separate application)
- Johnston Scholars (considers academic merit AND need)</p>

<p>I believe around 150-175 students receive one of these major "named" scholarships every year.</p>

<p>Partial merit awards go by various names and are typically a couple of thousand dollars in value. These include Davie, Old Well, College Fellows, and Advantage. Some of these are targeted to particular regions in NC or demographic groups; for example, the Advantage scholarship is targeted to middle-income high-achieving students.</p>

<p>The number of students receiving these partial awards varies by year, depending on the level of funding available.</p>

<p>For OOS students the Davie Scholarships and Col. John H. and Lillian T. Robinson Scholarships provide the equivalent of tuition, room and board. As with the Carolina Scholar and Pogue Scholarships, the benefits for in-state students are somewhat less.</p>

<p>Based on its most recent UNC press release, a little over 20 OOS students were awarded one of the "named" scholarships providing a "full ride". This excludes the Morehead-Cain and Robertson scholarships which are separately administered and the Johnston Scholarships (which is a need-based scholarship).</p>
