Full-time students who are determined to be bonafide North Carolina residents are eligible to receive the North Carolina Legislative Tuition Grant (NCLTG). The NCLTG is a grant provided to students at private North Carolina colleges and universities by the North Carolina legislature, and provides each North Carolina student with a fixed amount to be applied against his or her tuition, thereby reducing the gap between public and private tuitions. The amount of the grant is set each year by the state legislature, and is applied towards a student’s tuition each semester of eligibility. In order to receive this grant students must complete and submit an application form each year. The application must be submitted by the deadlines set by the Student Service Center in order to receive the grant for the semester in question. If a student applies for, and is approved for, the grant in the fall semester, the grant will be applied to the following spring semester as well, assuming the student remains a full-time student.
