Campus-wide Scholarship Opportunities

The NinerScholars Portal gives students access to more than 1,000 scholarships awarded by UNC Charlotte with one application, through​ the NinerScholars Student Application Portal.

This portal is UNC Charlotte’s online scholarship application portal that matches undergraduate and graduate students to scholarships.

Financial Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid administers several federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs to graduate students at UNC Charlotte who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The FAFSA helps U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens gain access to gift aid (repayment not required) such as grants, or self-help aid (direct repayment or service required), like loans and Federal Work-Study awards. For assistance with the FAFSA or your financial aid search, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid in Reese 122, or visit their website at NinerCentral.
